ATTACK ON STUDENT AID -- (House of Representatives - March 30, 2006)
Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, student aid is under serious attack. As I look at the 100 amendments that were blocked from being considered later on today, we saw amendments that would have extended the Pell Grant to qualifying prisoners. That is an attack on student aid; an amendment that would have provided forgiveness for teachers who go into rural communities, that is an attack on student aid; amendments that would have restored $12 billion to the student aid pool.
If those are not attacks on student aid, then I need to be educated.
