                         REDUCING PERSONAL DEBT

  (Mr. CLARKE of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CLARKE of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, several months ago, I introduced 
House Resolution 365, which asks this Congress to cut student loan debt 
and home mortgage debt.
  As a result, several hundreds of thousands of people all around this 
country signed an online petition to support this resolution. I'm happy 
to say that our voices are now being heard. The White House is moving 
in the right direction on helping to cut student loan debt. But I'm 
urging the American public to keep speaking out, sign on to this 
petition to support House Resolution 365, and help free the American 
people from excessive home mortgage and student loan debt.
