On the recordJuly 23, 2014
Mr. Chairman, I am excited about this amendment. There has been much discussion about things that we can do to help our American heroes, to help those veterans who have served and/or are serving. Many of these veterans and servicemembers are seeking higher educational opportunities, and many of them, while they have limited time due to work and family, they have skills. They have education. They have competency. So this competency-based education is almost tailor-made for them. I want to urge my colleagues to support this amendment and the underlying bill to help not only these American heroes, but students across the country. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
