WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, issued the following statement today on President George W. Bush’s signing of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act.
“Today is a momentous day for students and families struggling to pay for college. This bill will help ensure that no qualified student is prevented from going to college because of the cost. With the College Cost Reduction and Access Act signed into law, millions of students will receive much needed help to pay for college. I am extremely proud that the Democratic Congress has provided the greatest investment to help students and parents pay for college since the GI bill and has delivered on our promise to make college more affordable and accessible for families. This legislation shows how the Congress and the President can work together to accomplish important things on behalf of American families.”
