Rubén Hinojosa: “On rollcall No. 43, had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.''”

You made the statement that the HBCUs are a very important component of higher education, and I have been one of the strongest supporters of HBCUs.

I thank the gentleman. I gladly accept his offer, and I look forward to working together to promote financial literacy, especially with respect to auto financing. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 1737.

This H.R. 692 is nothing but default by another name. Moreover, adding insult to injury, H.R. 692 mandates that we pay foreigners instead of American servicemembers and veterans.

We sell our families short when we accept that high-interest loans are the best we can do for our communities.
