original description

Education Week Sen Edward M. Kennedy, who died Aug. 25 after nearly 47 years in the Senate, left a lot of unfinished business at the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, which he chaired. Though the committee worked on legislation to reform health care -Mr. Kennedy’s signature issue- during the chairman’s absence for treatment of a brain tumor, the panel also has important education items on its plate.

Kennedy was "a dedicated liberal," he "would have compromised this way or that way in order to get legislation through" the Senate, said Jack Jennings, the president of the Center on Education Policy, a research and advocacy organization in Washington.
