This (.onstanl remiorcement
Is having a salutary ellec I L)( )D
is bn lining less strident on
tins issue for example, not long
ago thc\ would not even en
gage in disi ussion of changing
the policy
•\t tills point many people
myself included believe there
will not he an overt puiii V
change Indore the presidential
election, then, sometime alter
it, there will he a movement to
change the policy in stages
Continued discussion and de
hate with members oi Congress
and DOD ts the best approach
to bring about change
Tile second Issue vve dis
cussed with members of Con
gress was student financial aid
Tile Higher education Act is
due for reauthorization tins
spring, and one central issue is
tile amount of federal funding
for student aid and the means
of allocating it
Presently, and oversimplify
mg somewhat, students apply
for federal grants and loans
through their colleges and uni
versities The colleges and uni
versities lerhfv need and ma
tm ulation and then students go
lo a bank to obtain the loans
The hanks take an imitation
fee lor the loan and then sell
the loan for a profit to a nation
al organization The loans are
federally guaranteed, so the
bans' I an- Ho risks. it Is good
