                             STUDENT LOANS

                                 ______


                         HON. EARL F. HILLIARD

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 13, 1995
  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to protest yet another one of 
the Republican plans to kill the American Dream. I am speaking of the 
budget that was rammed through last week. This budget gutted the 
student loan program, taking away the dreams and hopes of young people 
everywhere who will not be able to go to college if the plan is 
adopted.
  The budget plan is BAD. The Republicans have betrayed the future of 
America, for 30 pieces of silver, by getting rid of student loans and 
by cutting taxes for their rich friends. In order to finance this 
despicable debt, they have sold out the young people of America.
  When I think of how hard some of these kids have worked, studying and 
saving to get a college education, it makes me want to cry. And it 
makes me mad, too.
  There are some wonderful kids in Alabama who now may not ever reach 
their full potential. We have enticed them with dreams of a bright 
future, and the Republicans have made that dream a nightmare. Wake up 
Alabama! Wake up America!
