I now would like to yield 2 minutes to our distinguished colleague, the gentlewoman from Wyoming (Mrs. Lummis).

I now would like to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Johnson).

I now would like to yield 5 minutes to Mr. Nugent from Florida, my distinguished colleague on the Rules Committee.

I would now like to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from Kansas (Ms. Jenkins).

For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Polis), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the…

I believe the gentlewoman's question is a question for the rule and is not relevant to the point of order which she has raised.

I cannot assume what this body will do in the future. I am one member of the Rules Committee and the Education Committee. I do not have control over that, and I don't believe anybody can predict the future.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. None of the amendments were made in order except the manager's amendment, which brings the bill closer to the Senate version of the bill.

It isn't money that makes a good school. I grew up in western North Carolina in about as poor a place as there ever has been, and I say I got a really excellent education.

I do want to say that a group of students from Appalachian State University just came in.

We have no remaining speakers, and I am prepared to close if the gentleman is prepared to close.

I want to point out that our colleagues across the aisle, as well as President Obama, the answer to everything is to raise taxes, but they never can explain how raising taxes would lower costs, especially on gasoline. To me, that shows how…

As my colleague knows, yesterday, in the Rules Committee, people on his side of the aisle talked about tax breaks and giveaways, and that, again, implies that all the money that hardworking taxpayers earn is government money, and that is…

When I'm finished. I believe the gentleman from Colorado probably has adequate time. Mr. McGOVERN. I thought since you referred to me we would have a dialogue, but I guess not. Okay.

I want to point out to my colleague from Massachusetts that if we raise taxes on the oil companies, surely that will be passed along to consumers. Mr. McGOVERN. Will the gentlelady yield?

I think I should remind my colleague from Colorado that the Democrats were in charge of both Houses of the Congress and had the Presidency when the authorization for this bill first expired, and I believe they reauthorized it several times…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to thank my two colleagues who spoke on behalf of my amendment and tell them how much I appreciate their comments. And I want to say to my friends on the other side of the aisle, if designating an area as a…

I now yield 40 seconds to the distinguished chairman of the committee, Mr. Hastings.

This is the time to be fortifying our local WIA youth delivery system and building on its strengths.

I find it absolutely amazing that the United States of America got to the point it got to, got through World War II and won World War II without a single federal government worker training program.

Can you tell me in a short sentence or two why these folks who have... hasn't been processed?

I don't think the federal government needs to pay to spread them around.

I think they have always been neglected and do provide tremendous opportunities for us.

It seems to me that it is illogical that you all continue to talk about access and increasing borrowing for students.

The president has created the greatest fiscal crisis that this country has ever seen and now suddenly you are concerned about the loan rates.
