                     RELIEF FOR DEFRAUDED STUDENTS

  (Mr. ENGEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the passage of H.J. 
Res. 76, a resolution to overturn Secretary DeVos' shameful borrower 
defense rule.
  Secretary DeVos claims her rule is to help students and to protect 
taxpayers, but this rule does the complete opposite.
  Instead of working on behalf of students that have been defrauded by 
predatory for-profit colleges, Secretary DeVos seeks to protect those 
bad actors who leave students with crushing debt and worthless degrees.
  Secretary DeVos refuses to provide relief to defrauded students, 
eliminates consumer protections and higher education, and weakens 
safeguards to prevent low quality schools from receiving taxpayer 
money.
  Mr. Speaker, that is why I was proud to vote for and help pass H.J. 
Res. 76 to overturn Secretary DeVos' anti-student rule, and I urge 
prompt action by the full Senate.
