u.s. department of education has not held new mexico's leadership accountable for this failure. in fact, the federal government has enabled our states, including new mexico, to put special interests ahead of student success. and that's why education week ranked new mexico 49th out of 51 with a d-plus in preparing kids for college and a d-minus in k-12 achievement. this lack of accountability at the state and federal level is harming a generation of new mexico students. new mexicans deserve far better. it's time we have leads that are take responsibility for improving our schools and -- leaders that take responsibility for improving our schools. while this moves beyond the status quo, more needs to be done to help our students. i hope we work together to do that. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from florida seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, i rise today to urge the house to bring the 9/11 hea
