The Walberg amendment would allow institutions that have shown success with their demonstration projects to increase the number of students that can participate in their programs, helping to scale and allow more students to benefit. By increasing the number of students in successful programs, we can better get a sense of how successful programs can be brought to scale. Institutions should be rewarded with the ability to run a more robust demonstration project if their programs are reducing costs, improving quality, shortening time to degree. We should make sure that they are allowed to expand and remove any barriers to that. Therefore, I am proud to join my colleague in support of the Walberg amendment. I encourage my colleagues to vote ``yes'' so that institutions will be able to run more robust and scalable demonstration projects. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Walberg). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mr. Polis The CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 4 printed in part A of House Report 113-546.
