On the recordNovember 1, 2001
my colleague, Senator Bingaman, and I would like to clarify with our colleague, the distinguished chairman of the Labor, HHS, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee, his intent with respect to fiscal year 2002 funding of the Title V Hispanic-serving Institutions Grants program. As the chairman is well aware, this program provides critical funding to generally smaller, community-oriented four- and two-year institutions of higher education that serve at least 25 percent Hispanic students. These approximately 200 institutions are an increasingly important avenue to success for this important and growing segment of our nation, and the HSI program is integral to the ability of these institutions to open the doors of higher education to Hispanics.
