I thank the Senator from North Carolina. No one was more instrumental in the work in 2013 that reformed student loans to reduce the interest rate for undergraduates by nearly half that year. In his State of North Carolina there are many of the best universities and 2-year colleges in the country, and I know education has been and is foremost for him. I look forward to working with him, the members of our committee and every Senator on the floor, as we go through the process with a full and honest debate on important issues using an open amendment process. Then I hope we are able to work with President Obama again this year in the same way we were in 2013 to achieve a result. A forceful advocate for that result in 2013 was the Senator of Maine who has the advantage of having been a Governor, Senator King, and we will let him have the final say in this colloquy. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Maine.

I am glad I was here to hear the wise words of the Senator from Texas. I look at our region, in the Tennessee Valley, compared to California. California is moving ahead with a policy a lot like Vice President Biden's. They have got a high…

this morning, I had the privilege of attending the President's signing of the Great American Outdoors Act. Now, this is a town, Washington, DC, that is accustomed to hyperbole--that is exaggeration--and excessive partisanship. Yet, today…
