        MAKING GOOD ON OUR PROMISE TO FORGIVE STUDENT LOAN DEBT

  (Mr. KHANNA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, there are 45 million Americans waiting on 
the Supreme Court decision to see if their student loans will be 
forgiven.
  Let me be clear: We cannot continue the resolution of student loan 
payments until we make good on our promise to forgive them. If students 
are having to pay student loans in September, they will then have less 
money to spend, and it will hurt us and possibly drive us into a 
recession.
  Under the Higher Education Act, the President has the authority, and 
he should exercise that authority to make sure students aren't repaying 
their loans come this September, regardless of what the Supreme Court 
does.
