On the recordApril 12, 1994
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the minority on the Committee on Education and Labor for their cooperation in getting this bill swiftly to the floor so that we could meet the deadline that is so important to the schools involved and just state for the record that for those who think that the default rate is going to be worse in the future, they ought to look to the Republican who is on the floor handling this bill now for their side. Because we supported his idea of having Internal Revenue collect the loans from people who make loans from the Government in the future on a direct loan program. If you think that you do not have to pay taxes you owe to the Federal Government through IRS, then you will not have to pay your direct loan either, and they are going to treat you the same way if you do not pay.
