 Thank you, Chairman, and I want to thank you for calling today's hearing. And as I look out at the audience today, I think it's safe to say that this is the first time in my congressional experience that it would look as though the average age of Congress was about 25. As we look ahead to the reauthorization of Title IV-B, we must work together on comprehensive action to help our nation's young people in times of turbulence. All youth deserve a safe, stable environment that will allow them to learn and fully experience life.
