                               JUST DO IT

  (Ms. WOOLSEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, just do it. Go ahead, return the 
historically black colleges and universities and the Hispanic-serving 
universities to the subcommittee where they belong, the subcommittee 
that has jurisdiction over higher education, the Subcommittee on 21st 
Century Competitiveness, the subcommittee for this century.
  Separating historically black, Hispanic, and tribal institutions from 
the higher education subcommittee is insulting. It is harmful. It takes 
us back to the 19th century.
  The Republicans' decision is insulting and harmful. It is harmful to 
our colleagues. It is harmful to the institutions, to the students, and 
those who attend them, and it is harmful to our Nation.
  What good reason could there be for not changing this decision? There 
is no good reason. Just do it.
