hahn told me was going to happen. in other words students who were wronged by ecmc have to challenge the school loan, stand by themselves and can't make their case in front of a jury. then their carrots ecmc enrollment agreement does everything it can to steer students into arbitration. they offer to pay half the cost of a student's filing fee for arbitration if and only if the student waives the right to arbitration decision to court or bring a lawsuit disens the school. if a student demonstrates hardship because a student is saddled with enormous student loan debt and no job ecmc will to have pay the entire arbitration filing fee but only if the student will forfeit the right to bring a lawsuit and the arbitrator's decision becomes binding. i see my colleague on the floor. iem wrap up here. meanwhile corinthian executives seem to be off the hook. they faded into obscurity. they took millions of dollars in federal subsidies. they lured students into worthless schools. the students ended up with the debt and the worth

hahn: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today in support of policies that will help more students and families afford college. the cost of obtaining a college degree has increased more than 1,000% over the last three decades, and many more students need federal loans to cover the cost. and after racking up a mountain of debt, graduates struggle to put money into savings, buy a house or start a business. but many people are shocked to find out that the federal government is making billions of dollars in profits off these students by charging higher interest rates than necessary. this is not fair nor right. we should be rewarding our students for pursuing an education, not taxing them for it. students should get the same low interest rates that the federal reserve gives the big banks on wall street. i hope we can find bipartisan support in congress for commonsense policies to make college more affordable. thank you mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman fro

hahn: thank you mr. speaker. i rise to call on congress to keep its promise to invest in our nation's ports. the harbor maintenance tax collected at our ports should be returned to our ports, not stockpiled or diverted to other spending. for years only about 50% of the tax was returned to our ports. the harbor maintenance trust fund now has a surplus of approximately $9 billion. last year, with bipartisan support, we passed the water resources and reform development act, which set targets for annual increases in the usage of that trust fund leadinging to 100% -- leading to 100% of use by the year 2025. i've offered an amendment to the budget resolution to meet that target funding level for 2016 established in wrda and i'm disappointed that the rules committee did not rule it in order. to keep our united states ports globally competitive, we should fully use the harbor maintenance trust fund to maintain and improve our harbors and navigation channels. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. for

hahn: mr. speaker, i rise to express relief that congress has funded the department of homeland security. we averted an unnecessary and harmful crisis. we should not have reached the point where the department was on the brink of a shutdown. the department of homeland security was created after the devastating september 11 terrorist attacks and performed vital functions to protect americans against ongoing terrorist threats. we are talking about fema which responds to emergencies and disasters t.s.a., which makes flying safer the secret service, customs and border protection and other important services the coast guard, which patrols our waters and helps protect communities like mine, near the port of los angeles. it's also a part of the department of homeland security. we must do even more to improve port security and shutting down the department would have been a step backwards. we must stop the crisis-to-crisis governing around here. the american people deserve better than this political bri
