Speech #1100135605

Although my amendment did not call for any immediate changes within the credit markets or the loan program structure. a sense of Congress urged the Secretary of Education to closely monitor the student loan marketplace so that if in the near future these market insecurities translate into a loss of loan availability. we could act quickly to protect the interests of students. Mr. Speaker. I wont be offering that amendment today. it was not ruled in order. Somehow. a sense of the Congress acknowledging the very real challenges facing our Nations largest financial aid program was deemed unfit for consideration. We also wont be considering an amendment to protect students free speech rights on campus. or either of two amendments to ensure taxpayers arent forced to provide assistance under this bill to illegal immigrants. Nor will we take up any of the other Republican amendments that were stifled by a heavyhanded majority. Mr.
