Alexander Highlights Senate Health, Education, and Labor Committee Accomplishments for this Congress

Statement

U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the ranking Republican member on the Senate's Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions today highlighted the committee's accomplishments for this Congress--including 25 bipartisan bills that have been signed into law:

"The Senate Health, Education, and Labor Committee has produced some of the most significant legislation of any Senate committee this year. In a dysfunctional Congress, among senators with profound ideological differences, our work shows what can happen when you focus on getting results on issues important to the American people. This legislation includes bills that help pay for child care for 1.5 million children; make loans cheaper, simpler, and more certain for more than 9 million students; and make safer prescription drugs for virtually every American."
