“I come from the school of thought that we have to do all that we can do to improve opportunities for higher education in this country, and I know both gentlemen, particularly this gentleman and the chairman, have worked hard to provide that opportunity for young people. We have too many young people who graduate from college in this country who will leave a college or a medical school or some graduate school with over $100,000 worth of debt. If they have that opportunity to work their way through college, work their way through graduate school, or even have the opportunity to work in community programs to pay back their loans, that is the point that this gentleman and the gentlewoman from Texas had made and is making.”
