Honorable John Dingell
United States Representative, Michigan, Democrat
Representative Dingell, of the Fifteenth District of Michigan, was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1955. He served as Wayne County (Michigan) Assistant Prosecuting Attorney from 1953 to 1955. He is the Ranking Minority Member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The following is from the March 30, 2006, House floor debate on H.R. 609, the College Access and Opportunity Act. I rise today to voice my opposition to legislation on the floor, H.R. 609, the College Access and Opportunity Act of 2006. Many of my colleagues have renamed this bill the "Missed College Opportunities Act"…
