U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern (MA-02) today urged House Speaker John Boehner to not recess the House for the 4th of July District Work Period until the issue of student loan interest rates is resolved.

In a letter to the speaker (attached), Rep. McGovern notes that rates for students and their families are schedule to double on July 1.  "Although summer has just begun, families throughout Massachusetts are planning for the coming school year," Rep. McGovern said.  "The last thing these hard-working families need is more uncertainty about the cost of borrowing for college.  I hope the Speaker keeps the House in session until this urgent issue is addressed."
