  Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I would like to correct the Record. 
Earlier in my remarks, I stated that the Department of Education's 
automated loan discharge for these loans had been stalled. While they 
were stalled for three months, the department has resumed forgiving 
hundreds of millions of dollars in student loans owed by veterans with 
severe disabilities. This bill will require the Secretary to continue 
matching borrowers with data from Veterans Affairs to identify and 
automatically discharge the debt of matched individuals, eliminating 
burden on our veterans.
