I would like to take a moment to applaud the action of the House yesterday in unanimously passing H.R. 4155. legislation which will strengthen the Department of Educations ability to recoup defaulted student loan money. Under current law. the Internal Revenue Service may disclose the addresses of only a limited number of loan defaulters. H.R. 4155 will expand the authority of the IRS to provide the Education Department with the addresses of those who have failed to repay guaranteed student loans and loans made under the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act. The problem of default on loans made in good faith by the Federal Government to thousands of college students is reaching monumental proportions. The General Accounting Office estimates that as of fiscal year 1979. there was $2 billion in default under two programs: the guaranteed student loan program and the national direct student loan program.
