HEROES Bill Set For Bush’s Signature
By Charles Dervarics
Congress has completed work on a bill that will give military reservists overseas extended relief from student loan obligations during their service.
The Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students (HEROES) Act cleared the House and Senate, paving the way for President Bush’s signature. For reservists called to duty in Iraq, the bill will provide “flexibility and relief as they protect our nation,” said Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., the bill’s sponsor.
