Pat Roberts, R-Kan., referred to himself Friday as the Senator Left Behind, as he was rushed away from a meeting with Kansas school superintendents to other obligations. Roberts said he could have spent three hours with school officials discussing their concerns with the No Child Left Behind program. The senator met with 20 school superintendents from northeast Kansas as part of a trek around the state. Roberts acknowledged that No Child Left Behind has its problems. “We have quite a few challenges before this gets fixed,” Roberts said. “Too many teachers are worried about No Child Left Behind that it is sucking the joy out of teaching.”(KC Star) Summertime deadline is possible: Congress will face “very serious policy decisions” by August if there isn’t measurable progress in Iraq, Sen. Pat Roberts said Friday. Roberts, a Kansas Republican meeting with reporters in Overland Park, said that decision could include pulling troops back from direct involvement in ongoing violence. “You could go to containment, as opposed to intervention,” he said.Rep. Dennis Moore (D) !(Wichita Eagle) Disabled vets get their due: America’s disabled veterans will be honored at Washington’s newest memorial, slated for a prime spot of land at the foot of Capitol Hill. The land has been secured. The design has won preliminary approval. Now, the central task that remains is raising $65 million to build the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial. About half has been raised so far. Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Lenexa, has introduced legislation he hopes will help. Moore’s bill would direct the U.S. Treasury to mint 350,000 commemorative silver dollars to sell at face value, plus a $10 surcharge. That surcharge, which would raise $3.5 million, would go to a fund dedicated to building the memorial.Rep. Nancy Boyda (D) !(Topeka Capital-Journal) Boyda’s staff works to help constituents: Judy Jewsome and Chad Manspeaker had just left the conference room of Rep. Nancy Boyda’s Topeka office after describing the challenges and the satisfactions of helping 672,000 Kansans deal with the federal government. Then their boss, Jason Fizell, director of the Topeka office, quipped, “It’s not always thankless.” In fact, Boyda’s Topeka staff members speak with enthusiasm about their jobs and obviously are receiving satisfaction from their work. But sometimes it is frustrating. “How do you deal with someone who is crying on the phone and saying ‘My rent is due and I’m about to be put out on the street?’ ” Jewsome said. “Sometimes all you can do is cry with them.” But often Jewsome and Manspeaker are able to help because of their access to information about who does what in the federal government.
