        connection with their enrollment in postsecondary institutions 
        and their Federal student loans; and
            (2) the provisions authorized by such Act should be made 
        permanent, thereby allowing the Secretary of Education to 
        continue providing assistance to active duty service members 
        and other affected individuals and their families.
