At this time, I'm pleased to yield 3 minutes to a member of the committee, the subcommittee chair, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Walberg).

May I inquire as to how much time remains on each side. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Minnesota has 5\1/2\ minutes remaining, and the gentleman from California has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I yield myself the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 3 minutes.

I think that a great course in political science helps us be better voters.

I find it not surprising, but terrifically interesting when you look at Democracy Prep, for example, where you have 30 percent of your teachers are wholly uncertified.

if you want a better quality workforce one way to do it is to pay them more

I think how do we get a better return on the money that we are spending in this area and taking from hardworking Americans.

We need to be doing more of all of those things to bring down the cost.

I would now like to yield 2 minutes to another member of the committee, the gentlelady from Alabama (Mrs. Roby).

I yield 3 minutes to the chairman of the Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions, the distinguished gentleman from Tennessee, Dr. Roe.

Do I understand that the gentleman from New Jersey is the last and only speaker remaining?

I appreciate my friend having me do that, and we're glad to comply, Mr. Speaker. So at this time, I'm pleased to yield 1 minute to another member of the committee, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson).
