                   Recognition of the Majority Leader

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader is recognized.
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, first, I want to thank my friend and 
colleague, the senior Senator from Illinois, not only for his wonderful 
remarks here today but for his passion on this issue. He was one of the 
first to blow the whistle on these colleges.
  When you hear about this, it just boils your blood--boils your blood. 
These kids did nothing wrong. It is one of the reasons we believe 
student debt should be forgiven. The Federal Government gave them the 
loans--that was required by law--but they were taken advantage of 
through no fault of their own.
  I wonder if this Mr. Modany has been prosecuted for any of these 
things. He does not deserve to have, probably, the millions he has on 
the backs of all of these students.
  But I thank the Senator from the bottom of my heart. This boils our 
blood, what they did to these kids. That is one of the reasons we 
believe that the White House ought to forgive up to $50,000 of student 
debt.
  OK. Let's go to another subject.
