Chairwoman Lowey Statement at Hearing on Department of Education's FY 2020 Budget Request

March 26, 2019 Press Release
"We are not far into appropriations hearing season, but I’m already tired of hearing about the Administration’s so-called tough choices. Secretary DeVos, your budget request does not reflect the reality in classrooms across the country, and if enacted, would cause irreparable, structural damage to communities across the nation."

Chairwoman DeLauro Statement at Hearing on Department of Education's FY 2020 Budget Request

March 26, 2019 Press Release
"I believe this budget is cruel and reckless. It will hurt the middle class and low-income families that most need our help. In fact, the proposed budget cuts nearly $9 billion from the Department of Education – including the proposed $2 billion Pell Grants rescission. Meanwhile, it proposes a new $5 billion annual tax scheme – which is unregulated and unaccountable – to fund a private school voucher program that will undermine our public schools and it allows the unaccounted use of tax dollars."

Chairwoman DeLauro Statement at Hearing on HHS FY 2020 Budget Request

March 13, 2019 Press Release
"It is the obligation of this subcommittee to ensure that the middle class, working families and low-income families are not harmed by reckless cuts. We will reject these cuts to health programs, medical research, public health, home heating assistance, and so many others; instead, we are going to invest in health, education, and protections for the middle class."

Chairwoman DeLauro Statement at Oversight Hearing on For-Profit Colleges

March 12, 2019 Press Release
"The behavior of predatory for-profit colleges is egregious. They are private companies that can subsist entirely on federal dollars. I would think that my colleagues who decry crony capitalism would particularly object to this, especially since it comes at the expense of veterans, students, families and taxpayers. Yet, the Trump administration and Secretary DeVos have rushed to let these predatory programs off the hook."

Chairwoman Lowey Statement at Hearing Addressing the Public Health Emergency of Gun Violence

March 7, 2019 Press Release
"Only by conducting scientific research on gun injury prevention can we better understand the causes of this crisis and develop and implement a public health response to reduce injuries and death. Yet, without dedicated funding from Congress, the CDC, which should lead these efforts, cannot move forward with this vital work."

Chairwoman DeLauro Statement at Hearing Addressing the Public Health Emergency of Gun Violence

March 7, 2019 Press Release
"It is time we support public research of gun violence too. We did until the Dickey Amendment in the 1990s. It did not ban the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention from researching. However, it had a chilling result, severely discouraging it."
