                             EXTENDERS BILL

  (Mr. NEAL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEAL. Madam Speaker, in December and again in May, this House 
passed legislation to extend a popular set of expiring tax provisions 
providing billions of dollars in relief to millions of American 
families. That tax bill passed the House and has been stymied in the 
other body where only two Republican Senators have stood up against 
their party's own filibuster against these tax cuts.
  Let me tell you who's suffering in the meantime: 42,000 families in 
Kentucky cannot deduct $108 million in college tuition fees; 86,000 
families in Arizona cannot deduct $166 million in tuition fees; 304,000 
families in Texas cannot deduct $708 million in college tuition fees. 
Nationwide, more than 4 million families cannot deduct $10.5 billion in 
college expenses.
  A college degree means a better job for your kid. I urge our 
colleagues on the other side of the aisle to contact their Senators and 
tell them that Tax Extenders means jobs.
