Support:

Bernice Johnson: Democrat representative from California

Summary:

Don Young thanks Bernice Johnson throughout his speech for her support on HR 4137.

Audience and agenda:

Youtube is a web site where viewers can search for videos on various subjects.  Don Young has his own channel on youtube which contains speeches that he has given to congress.  Young’s channel has been viewed 24,309 times and has 156 subscribers.

Usefulness:

This video gives a reason why Pell grants were made more available in the past.  The fact that kids who have lost family member in the Iraq and Afghanistan are automatically eligible for a grant is not ok.  The reason why is that there are kids that need the grants are not able to, because kids that might still be able to afford college are given money under this law.
