                             General Leave

  Mr. HINOJOSA. Mr. Speaker, I request 5 legislative days during which 
Members may revise and extend and insert extraneous material on H.R. 
1777 into the Record.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. HINOJOSA. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1777, a bill to make 
technical corrections to H.R. 4137, which is the Higher Education Act.
  Mr. Speaker, the House originally passed this legislation on March 
30, 2009. This is a revised version from the Senate. The Senate made 
additional conforming and technical changes, including a scholarship 
program for students whose parent or guardian was a member of the Armed 
Forces of the United States and died as a result of performing military 
service in Iraq or Afghanistan after September 11, 2001, clarifying the 
``experimental site'' authority at the Department of Education. Let me 
explain some of these changes.
  Currently, borrowers may rehabilitate their defaulted Federal student 
loans by making nine on-time payments. Once they meet this threshold, 
the guaranty agency may sell the loan to a lender, which results in the 
default being removed from the borrowers' credit reports.
  Mr. Speaker, because of the current credit crunch, guaranty agencies 
have been unable to find lenders for these loans. The bill amends the 
loan to allow those loans qualified for rehabilitation to be assigned 
to the Department of Education for this purpose.
  The bill makes three changes to the exemption of veterans' assistance 
in the calculation of the Federal financial aid. The first is to 
clarify that assistance under the Montgomery GI Bill is included in 
exempted veterans' benefits, and the second is to move the date of the 
exemption of veterans' benefits from the calculation of the estimated 
financial assistance from July 1, 2010, to July 1, 2009.
  The third change is to provide scholarships in the amount of the 
maximum Pell Grant award to students whose parent or guardian was a 
member of the Armed Forces of the United States and died as a result of 
performing military service in Iraq or Afghanistan after September 11, 
2001.
  The bill ensures the continuation of the Department of Education's 
``experimental site'' program on existing campuses for another year and 
defines a successful program as one that reduces administrative cost 
and increases student services, without additional cost to the 
government.
  In closing, Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank our committee 
chairman, Representative George Miller from California, and our ranking 
member, John Kline, along with our ranking

[[Page H7108]]

member on the subcommittee, Representative Brett Guthrie of Kentucky, 
for expediting this legislation and helping us make these needed 
corrections in a bipartisan manner.
  I urge all my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on H.R. 1777.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. I rise in support of this legislation, 
and I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  The House easily passed this bill under suspension at the end of 
March and, as often happens with the legislative process, when it went 
to the Senate, a few changes were made. Therefore, we are here again 
today simply to give final approval to a bill we have already 
supported, and rightfully so.
  The primary purpose of this legislation is to make technical changes 
to ensure smooth implementation of the bipartisan higher education 
reforms enacted last year. Second, it addresses a pressing issue facing 
the Federal student loan programs. And third, the legislation includes 
a provision to assist students who have lost a parent to the wars in 
Iraq and Afghanistan.
  The technical corrections are just that, clarifications needed to 
ensure that the first comprehensive renewal of higher education 
programs in a decade can be put into place as Congress intended. The 
legislation will also help student loan borrowers who have fallen 
behind to rebuild their damaged credit by making these loans eligible 
for emergency liquidity measures enacted last fall. It's a simple 
change that will make a real difference for borrowers who are just 
trying to do the right thing by restarting regular payments on their 
Federal student loans.
  The other change we are making in this bill is also important for a 
different set of students, students who have suffered a terrible loss 
but who have continued to move forward to achieve a postsecondary 
education. And I'm talking about the students who have lost a parent 
due to the military action taking place in Iraq and Afghanistan.
  The Higher Education Act reauthorization bill that was passed by this 
body last Congress included a provision that would allow Pell-eligible 
students to automatically receive the maximum Pell Grant if one of 
their parents died as a result of their military service in Iraq or 
Afghanistan. The legislation before us today extends a similar benefit 
to students who may fall outside of the income limits placed on the 
Pell Grant program but who have also suffered the same type of loss.
  Under this legislation, all students who have lost a soldier-parent 
as a direct result of fighting in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan will 
be eligible for a grant. The parents of these students have given their 
lives in service to our country.
  A college student who loses a parent in the war loses so much more 
than we can fathom. These students will not have their parent around to 
move into their first dorm room or hear complaints about cafeteria 
food. They will not have their parent's consolation and encouragement 
to continue even after a poor test grade or a difficult professor. Of 
course, these students who lose a parent in Iraq or Afghanistan will 
not have the financial support of their parent in this time of rising 
college costs and economic uncertainty.
  While this legislation does not provide students with the same type 
of support a parent could provide, I hope it will ease the financial 
burden of paying for college just a little bit.
  The legislation before us easily passed the House once. I hope for a 
similar result again, and I urge my colleagues to join me in voting 
``yes'' on this legislation.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. HINOJOSA. Mr. Speaker, I have no other speakers, and I yield back 
the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Hinojosa) that the House suspend the rules 
and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 1777.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I object to the vote on 
the ground that a quorum is not present and make the point of order 
that a quorum is not present.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX and the 
Chair's prior announcement, further proceedings on this motion will be 
postponed.
  The point of no quorum is considered withdrawn.
