             GIVE YOUTH OF AMERICA THE FUTURE THEY DESERVE

  (Mr. HILLIARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the students who 
are visiting our Capital City. These students have brought a message to 
Congress, stressing the importance of funding the student loan 
programs. If the Republicans cut or eliminate student aid, many bright 
young people will not be able to go to college.
  I have seen the wonderful results of education funding. I have hosted 
several financial-aid recipients as interns in my congressional office. 
Currently, I am proud to have Vernetta, from Selma, AL. Without the 
benefits of the student aid program, Vernetta would

not be able to complete her college education.
  Each of my interns has demonstrated great intelligence and drive, and 
I feel very fortunate to have benefited from their talent and 
enthusiasm. Let us not deprive this country of these bright minds by 
denying them the opportunity for an education. Let us give the youth of 
America the future they deserve.
