This is an epidemic. You know, I speak to my grandkids, sixth grade, fifth grade, it is unbelievable what is going on out there.

We came together on a bipartisan basis in this Congress to authorize the Full-Service Community School program in 2015 because we know its value in the districts.

You propose eliminating 41 programs, cutting education funding overall by $6.2 billion.

With all due respect, the administration chose to make these cuts. This wasn't a tough choice; it was the wrong choice.

I think that they are so critical to bringing together health, social support, family-community engagement, early childhood development opportunities to really help students and their families thrive.

We really do need these answers right away, but I would like to turn to another matter on--which is impacting public health.

if the $3 million cut you have proposed were to take place, programs like this would disappear

As long as I have been part of this subcommittee, we have had bipartisan agreement that foreign assistance is critical to our national security and to maintaining America's leadership role in the world.

Let me be clear. Our Nation's security cannot afford a budget that does not adequately fund our diplomatic and development programs or lifesaving humanitarian assistance.

these kinds of mailers are dangerous, predatory, and exacerbate concerns with undercounting.

USAID helps the world's most vulnerable, assists in recovery from natural disasters and humanitarian crises, and supports countries' efforts to strengthen governance, rule of law, and human rights.
