Subject: Congressmen Again Challenge Duncan on TRIO

March 4, 2010 Dear TRIO Colleagues: Yesterday, Secretary Arne Duncan testified before the House Education and Labor Committee to discuss how strong and innovative education reforms can help rebuild the U.S. economy and restore our competitiveness, particularly in the context of the Administration's FY2011 budget request. During the hearing, both Congressman Donald Payne (D-NJ) and Congressman Bobby Scott (D-VA) questioned the Secretary about the Administration's commitment to TRIO. Congressman Payne, co-chair of the TRIO Congressional Caucus, asked Secretary Duncan to explain how TRIO fit into President Obama's goal to emerge first in the world for college completion by the year 2020. Meanwhile, Congressman Scott revisited the issue of Upward Bound funding, which he raised during last week's House Budget Committee hearing. A complete video of the hearing is available online at http://edwork.edgeboss.net/wmedia/edwork/fc/fc030310.wvx. Congressman Payne's remarks begin at 42:12. Congressman Scott's remarks begin at 1:14:58. Please thank Congressmen Payne and Scott for their continued advocacy on behalf of TRIO! Sincerely, Heather Valentine COE
