            Education Opportunity Act of 2008</a> was signed into law today,
            August 14, 2008.  The law, passed by the House on July 31 by a
            vote of 380-49, is the first reauthorization of the nation’s
            primary higher education laws in a decade.<br>
            <br>
            Today is truly a momentous day for America’s current and future
            college students and families. Over the past two years, the
            Democratic Congress has charted a new direction to help make
            college more affordable and accessible for all qualified students.
            We’ve enacted the <a

            federal college aid from turbulence in the nation’s credit
            markets</a> – and all without costing taxpayers a dime.
            We’ve proven we can work in a bipartisan way to enact good
            public policies that make sense for students, for our economy, and
            for taxpayers.<br>
            <br>
            Now, with this bill signed into law, we have taken the next
            critical steps toward restoring the promise of our nation’s
            higher education programs: To help all students gain access to a
            world-class college education. For the first time in years,
            students and parents will encounter a higher education system that
            is more consumer-friendly and that operates in the best interests
            of helping them pay for college. This law will help every student
            in this country get their fair shot at a college degree, and
            reclaim their piece of the American Dream.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
