I just want to again thank Representative Bishop for all your work on this--thank you very much--and Chairman Kline and Ranking Member Scott. This is, I think, a good example of how we can work together in a committee to make sure that higher educational needs are met. I represent about 75,000 higher education students. With UW Madison as the flagship, about 45,000 students, we have other campuses for the UW system, Beloit College and other smaller private colleges, Madison College and others. This is a really important program, not just back home in Wisconsin, but across the country; and the fact that we are able to get this done in a bipartisan manner shows how I think Congress can work its very best. So I urge my colleagues to support this. I yield back the balance of my time.
