It's my pleasure. You have seven points to our economic agenda. Really, comprehensive immigration reform should be the eighth one. The wealth of our country really is in the skills and knowledge of our people. We need to find the pathway…
Well, it certainly hurts our economy in that way. They're going to delay buying a car; they're going to delay buying a home; they're going to delay starting a family with this debt overhanging. Beyond the interest rates, I also believe we…
The compounding effects on that amount of debt is going to seriously add to those students who will take, say, public service jobs or jobs in teaching, or jobs in the public sector, nonprofits. It will severely limit the kind of employment…
I did actually take on some more debt to get my master's degree before I came here. Two years before I came to Congress I completed my master's degree, and it was a 2-year master's program. Because of my income as a teacher, many years as…
H.R. 331 would permit the centralized reporting of veteran enrollment by accredited educational institutions within the same district.
Executive Order13607 holds scholastic institutions to a higher standard of ethics by establishing 'Principles of Excellence' for data collection and student feedback.
For veterans who want to pursue educational opportunity, our duty is to provide every encouragement because they have earned those benefits in honorable service to their country.
What is desperately needed is funding mechanisms similar to Title V grants and pass H.R. 331 authored by Subcommittee Ranking Member Mark Takano and Congressman Ken Calvert.
I frequently hear from my constituents and researchers at the university about the key role that the Department of Energy plays in fostering innovation.
Thank you, Secretary Moniz, for your testimony before the Committee this morning.
We owe it to them not to allow their families to be thrown out of their houses when they are putting their lives on the line in the name of freedom. I urge my colleagues to support our military families. Mr. McKEON. Mr. Chairman, I yield…
Thank you for this time to share our vision for moving forward with the American people. I wake up each day excited to come to work, to work on their behalf. Despite our divisions, despite the rancor we see sometimes on the various cable…
I agree. We need a holistic approach. I was very impressed that the AFL-CIO and the Chamber of Commerce were able to come together and sign off on what Senators, the Group of Eight in the Senate, had devised. My goodness, if the Chamber of…
I associate myself with the gentleman's comments. I am very heartened by this announcement. I will, of course, temper my enthusiasm until I actually see the elements of this compromise. But what many folks here are saying on the…
Yes, it's a double benefit that many people may not have been aware of, a double positive effect on our economy. For many people it's counterintuitive to think that by reforming immigration and by giving legal status to undocumented…
Recently, a crew from the California Air National Guard that was operating a remotely piloted aircraft out of March Air Reserve Base was able to locate a survival raft less than 2 minutes after being given a rough approximation of its…
My legislation will give these veterans 5 additional years to receive this training.
I want to thank Mr. Flores for introducing HR 631, and which I have cosponsored.
My legislation will give these veterans five additional years to receive this help.
I support this bill and I am interested in making the optional tracks in the Transition Assistance Program mandatory.
It is an important program to veteran students in my district and to thousands of others in schools across the country.
You know, when I was a little boy, I remember the National Guard being the place where people went to avoid situations where they would actually be called up...
I hope this hearing will help us understand how these servicemembers are performing in the job market.
