“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 981 offered by the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Van Orden), my friend and colleague. The bill would improve the information schools are required to give individuals regarding GI Bill benefits. Currently, schools are required to give an estimated cost of education to anyone who potentially will use the GI Bill. However, there are cases where a school cannot accurately estimate the tuition and expenses for the year. This means that the schools are providing misleading information that serves the interests of the institution over the veterans due to bureaucratic obstacles. I support a veteran getting accurate estimates of what their expenses would look like.”
“Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks on H.R. 981. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Illinois? There was no objection.”
“(b) Publication of Information About Training for School Certifying Officials.--The Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall establish a website to serve as a central location for the publication of information about the training that the Department of Veterans Affairs provides for school certifying officials and shall update such information on a regular basis. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Bost) and the gentleman from California (Mr. Takano) each will control 20 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Illinois. General Leave”

“Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill [[Page H1431]] (H.R. 981) to amend title 38, United States Code, to improve the processes to approve programs of education for purposes of the educational assistance programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.
