VOLUNTARY MILITARY EDUCATION PROGRAMS STATEMENT OF HON. FREDERICK VOLLRATH, ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR READINESS AND FORCE MANAGEMENT, OF- FICE OF THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR PERSONNEL AND READI- NESS, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR RICHARD J. DURBIN Senator DURBIN. Good morning. The subcommittee meets this morning to receive testimony on Voluntary Military Education Programs as part of its consideration of the fiscal year 2014 request for the Department of Defense (DOD) appropriation. We will consider the issue with two panels. The first is Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness and Force Management, Mr. Frederick Vollrath. Thank you for being with us. The second panel will be Mr. Terry Hartle, Senior Vice President of the American Council on Education (ACE); Mr. Steve Gunder- son, President of the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU); James Selbe, Senior Vice President for Part- nership Marketing and Enrollment Management at the University of Maryland University College (UMUC); and Mr. Christopher Neiweem, a former DeVry recruiter and Iraqi Freedom Veteran. Thanks to all the witnesses for being here. Now, we are aware of the important role that is played by the Voluntary Military Education programs for the men and women in uniform and their spouses. We also know these are extremely pop- ular programs. In fiscal year 2012, more than half a million individuals partici- pated in these programs. In March, when the services proposed limiting the benefits because of the sequester, Congress heard im- mediately and clearly that education benefits are very important to our service men and women and their spouses.
