Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Bishop), a new member of the committee.

Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time. As is always the case in these debates on the floor, we hear a lot of things. Some of them are actually factual; some of them are not. There is, shockingly, some hyperbole that comes…

Mr. Chairman, it is now my great pleasure to yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Rokita), the chairman of the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education.
