Military alone cannot strengthen the investments for development and the other whole of government has to be part of the effort.

Cutting aid to the region will only increase the drivers and will be even more costly to deal with our border

The administration's decision to cut aid to the Northern Triangle countries... has just totally flabbergasted people

The mission of the department which has been discussed already, which is to 'foster, promote, and develop the welfare of wage earners.'

The company obviously gambled in thinking they could win that job action, and they badly miscalculated.

If we had programs which, again, we are able to diversify student bodies, I think frankly you would see improvement all across the board.

If the Federal Government were to step in and really provide a new infusion of resources, I mean that would really turbo charge and jump start, you know, these models that we know are actually working

The Strength in Diversity Act, which my friend Congresswoman Fudge--would open the door to expanding those resources

One place where I would argue there was some progress was referred to by Professor Brittain in his remarks...

I mean, so please explain that decision in that memo.

So I want to ask, given the fact that State law enforcement has had a spectacular record of success in terms of getting restitution for student borrowers...

Again just for the record, the OIG found 61 percent noncompliance by loan servicers in most basic functions

Well, again, you are certainly not working with us in terms of trying to at least let us see whether or not your, again, total unilateral decision is, in fact, resulting in good enforcement actions being stymied and stifled.

There is no question about it.

For-profit institutions see service members as nothing more than dollar signs in uniform.

The GI Bill is like a magnet for for-profit institutions because that counts toward the 10 percent in the 90-10 rule.

For-profit institutions "see service members as nothing more than dollar signs in uniform."

The ability of any institution or enterprise to attract people who will pay some of their own money to attend I think is an important indicator of quality.

I think it's unfortunately the President has declared war again on the Affordable Care Act but again, our mission is just to keep again using the best information possible because health care is such a dynamic issue.

Thank you for your leadership on this issue which is definitely sweeping the country.

How do you balance moving money out of the Department of the Army at the same time you are coming back to Congress, saying, oh, by the way, there are unfunded priorities, such as the Fort Drum project?

If there is transfer authority of that sweeping in nature, I mean, actually, the costs could be far different than what was put into the budget as a line item.

I would like to go back to the space force proposal, because in the budget document that was submitted, section 1707, I mean, there is some pretty extraordinary transfer authorities which the administration is proposing.

And without even consulting Congress, by the way, which, again, is a very big breach of normal practice around here, and I, frankly, think it is going to do damage to transfer, reprogramming----
