I strongly urge support for the Fast Track to College Act, since I witness every day the solid results that come from well-executed early college programs.

I urge you to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and support Congressman Kildee's Fast Track to College Act.

How do you fund--Dr. Lotfi first, how do you fund those programs, where would you find the dollars for that?

the Fast Track is the right track to providing our children with necessary tools to compete in a global state.

I am not sure how aware they are of advocating and pushing that we fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

The Land and Water Conservation Fund has been very, very important to this Nation, very important to my State.

I think it is as important, when I travel through the country, particularly through Michigan, I know the Governors would never let us take money from the highway fund.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We all know that water is essential for life.

Students who attend schools with anti-harassment policies that enumerate categories of students for protection report that they feel safer.

We would like to thank Chairman Kildee and Chairwoman McCarthy, along with Ranking Members Castle and Platts for convening this important hearing.

But I also think there is a second role where the school can educate people to be civil people.
