                         ATTACK ON STUDENT AID

  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, student aid is under serious 
attack. As I look at the 100 amendments that were blocked from being 
considered later on today, we saw amendments that would have extended 
the Pell Grant to qualifying prisoners. That is an attack on student 
aid; an amendment that would have provided forgiveness for teachers who 
go into rural communities, that is an attack on student aid; amendments 
that would have restored $12 billion to the student aid pool.
  If those are not attacks on student aid, then I need to be educated.
