I believe that your budget proposal would do great harm to students in every facet of education, from kindergarten through graduate school and, for those with student loan debt, years beyond.

Your budget would eliminate this program, destroying the dreams of these hard-working people who are trying to build a better life for themselves and their children.

So supporting these programs, making sure we are supporting our schools in science training, in apprenticeship programs, all the issues we talk about, are important.

Last week it was reported that agencies have been instructed by the administration not to respond to letters from Democrats requesting oversight-related information.

There is no mention of discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.

Is there a line for you on State flexibility? You are the backstop for students and their right to access a quality education.

Education for me is probably one of our most important responsibilities if we are going to have a workforce that is strong, healthy.

If you are funding with vouchers private school, the money is coming from someplace, and there is an overall cut in the budget.

The Trump administration's budget proposal, however, would eliminate that entire amount in just 1 year by cutting $8,000,000,000 from the NIH.

If the Republican healthcare bill had passed, 14 million low-income Americans would have lost Medicaid coverage and their access to treatment along with it.

The Trump administration has proposed an $8,000,000,000, or 24 percent, cut to the NIH budget.

We respectfully request that you preserve and enhance the various rural programs under your jurisdiction for FY18.
