"I am grateful to Chairman Leahy for giving me this opportunity to preside this afternoon and to Senator Grassley, the Ranking Member, for being here with us."

"I would like to join you in the effort to provide more support for community colleges that you and Senator Hagan were discussing earlier."

"If the education is substandard, if it fails to meet minimum quality criteria, it shouldn't be in business."

"I want to join Mr. Chairman in thanking you for your profoundly important and historic work on this topic."
