                             STUDENT LOANS

  (Mrs. KENNELLY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KENNELLY. Mr. Speaker, I had the honor in the Memorial Day break 
to have been chosen as the commencement speaker at two schools, Trinity 
College in Hartford and Central Connecticut State University in 
Connecticut. As a result, I talked to many students during this time 
that we were in our districts. They are very worried.
  A perfect example of these students right here is Vincent Federici. 
He has worked hard in high school, got good grades, got accepted to a 
good college. His mother is a computer worker, his father works at a 
machine shop. They have worked hard to make sure that Vincent can go to 
college. They have three sons coming along. They have put every dollar 
in order. They know where every penny is going.
  Mr. Speaker, as we consider changes in the Student Loan Program, I 
ask Members to think about Vincent and the millions of other young men 
and women across this country who are doing the right thing, going to 
college so they can compete in this world competitive market. Please, 
Mr. Speaker, do not make the students that are going to college pay 
more and have a bigger burden. It is the wrong thing to do.
