Mr. Speaker, there is no way that the Oklahoma delegation can express our thanks to the country for the help over the last 20 years, but with this moment of silence just now, we ask that everyone, 2 minutes after 9, central time, this…

Mr. President, I am going to have, later on--I was hoping we would be able to do this today--a couple of amendments that I can't imagine will be any problem on the floor. But it has been a problem that has been with us for a long period of…

My hope is that it doesn't set the not-for-profits up for failure by capping the amount for loan servicing for the multiple companies that are doing it.

Any work that can be done to simplify that form I think is extremely important, for multiple reasons.
