COLLEGE STUDENT RELIEF ACT OF 2007 -- (House of Representatives - January 17, 2007)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I rise to express concern about what I have heard from both sides of the aisle, and that is the rising cost of postsecondary education. It concerns all of us here, and I know that we all want to work together. I hope to address these costs. My concern is that this resolution will not address this issue.

As we look to the larger issues of that growing cost, we have to look further than what many folks here can agree, that it is not a substantial effect that we can expect with H.R. 5. I hope that you will share my concern, and I hope we can continue to work in a direction of working together, hopefully through a committee process, and come up with something that will address these concerns.
