U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings today issued the following statement on Senator Edward M. Kennedy:
"My friend Senator Ted Kennedy is a lionhearted champion for our nation's schoolchildren. His decades of public service have inspired generations of Americans, including me. And his strong, outspoken leadership has helped to improve the quality of life for all of us.
I join people across our country and around the world in sending my prayers to the Senator, his wife Vicki, and their entire family during this difficult time. I am glad to hear that Senator Kennedy is in good spirits, and I know he will respond to this challenge with his characteristic toughness and determination."
