“I thank the Senator from New Hampshire. She has been a passionate advocate for the Perkins loan recipients in New Hampshire and across this country and played a major role in developing this 2-year compromise that permits us to continue the program while we look at the future. Senator Baldwin of Wisconsin was one of the first on the floor to point out the importance of passing the House bill and dealing with this issue. She is a member of the Senate's education committee, what we call the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. Both she and her colleague from Wisconsin, Senator Johnson, have vigorously advocated for an extension of the Perkins Loan Program. I thank Senator Baldwin for her hard work and look forward to working with her not just on passing this bill but working in the committee to come to a proper resolution on student aid.”
