“I rise today in support of two amendments, S.A. 3574 and S.A. 3575, offered by the junior senator from Florida. I am concerned the student loan reforms in the bill will lead to a substantial loss of jobs in my State. That is why I recently led a group of six Senators in asking Majority Leader Reid to consider alternative ways to reduce the cost of student loans. Unfortunately, that has not happened. The provisions in this bill could prove detrimental to thousands of employees who serve in the student loan industry throughout this country, about 700 who are located in Panama City, FL. Therefore, Mr. President, I urge the Senate to pass this amendment.”
