ByEricaWerner The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Barack Obama's nominee for health secretary drew sup- port from Republican sena- tors Thursday even as they challenged the health law she would be charged with carrying out. Sylvia Mathews Burwell defended the Affordable Care Act, asserting that it has improved the economy, held down the growth of health costs, reduced premi- ums and expanded coverage. The law "is making a pos- itive difference in the lives of our families and our com- munities," Burwell, who now serves as Obama's budget di- rector, said in testimony be- fore the Senate Health, Ed- ucation, Labor and Pensions Committee, the first of two Senate committees that will hold hearings on her nomina- tiontoleadtheHealthandHu- man Services Department. Republican senators dis- agreed. The top commit- tee Republican, Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, warned her that Republicans hope to retake the Senate in November and scale back the law in numerous ways. "Republicans would like to repair the damage Obam- acare has done," Alexander said. But at the same time, Al- exander cited Burwell's "rep- utation for competence," and she waseffusively introduced at the hearing by another Republican, Sen. John Mc- Cain of Arizona. Sen. Rich- ard Burr, R-N.C., declared he plans to vote in favor of her nomination, calling her a "tremendous asset." The exchanges point to a smooth confirmation for Burwell, 48, even as her nomination hearings allow Republicans to focus re- newed election-year atten- tion on the unpopular health law. HHS nominee faces questions on law HEALTH CARE By Kimberly Hefling The Associated Press WASHINGTON Despite a 32-year-old court ruling, school districts continue to raise barriers to enrollment for children brought into the U.S. illegally, the Obama ad- ministration said Thursday, characterizing reports of hindrances as troubling. The Justice Department and Education Department issuednewguidanceremind- ingschoolsanddistrictsthey have a legal obligation to en- roll every student regardless of immigration status. The guidancesaysschoolsshould be flexible in deciding which documentstheywillacceptto prove a student's age or res- idency. The guidance also re- minds them not to ask about a student's immigration sta- tus or require documents such as a driver's license, if that would prevent a student from enrolling because of a parent's immigration status. The Education Depart- ment said it has received 17 complaints since 2011 from states including Colorado, NorthCarolina,Ohio,Louisi- ana, Michigan, New Mexico andtheDistrictofColumbia. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said that in some instances, school lead- ers have inappropriately re- quired information such as a child's visa status or date of entry into the United States. Justice Department of- ficials said they also have taken action, sometimes col- laboratively with the Educa- tion Department and some- times working separately. The Justice Department has entered into settlement agreements with school dis- tricts in states such as Geor- gia, Florida, and Virginia. And it said that after it con- tacted officials in Alabama, the state education depart- ment sent guidance to dis- tricts spelling out that they may not bar or discourage students from enrollment because they lack a Social Security number or birth certificate or because their parents don't have an Ala- bama driver's license. In a settlement with the district in Palm Beach County, Florida, the district agreed to provide transla- tion help during enrollment and to permit homeless stu- dents who lack documenta- tion to enroll. InHenryCounty,Georgia, as part of a separate settle- ment, the district agreed to ensure that a parent's deci- sion to withhold a child's So- cial Security number will not keep the child from en- rolling. J.D. Hardin, a spokesman for Henry County schools, said students never were barred from classes in the district, located about 20 minutes south of metro At- lanta. District officials be- lieved they could start the withdrawal process under Georgia's enrollment rules if a parent didn't provide a Social Security number or fill out a waiver within 30 days after the student be- gan classes, he said. Since the settlement, stu- dents stay in class whether parents provide the num- ber, fill out a waiver within 30 days or do nothing, Har- din said. Matt Cardoza, a spokes- man for Georgia's Depart- ment of Education, said the state worked with fed- eral officials while updating enrollment requirements in 2011. Cardoza said state ed- ucation staff will follow up on any complaints they re- ceive about enrollment problems. Officials from the Edu- cation and Justice depart- ments said they have found that states and districts are willing to work with the fed- eral government on the is- sue. EDUCATION AND IMMIGRATION US warns schools against bias By Bradley Klapper The Associated Press WASHINGTON House Re- publicans on Thursday pre- pared to ram through their demand for a new investi- gation of the deadly assault in Benghazi, Libya, vowing to pursue questions old and new in a search for truth. Democrats rejected the in- quiry as a political ploy to raise campaign cash and motivate voters. Ahead of Thursday's vote, Speaker John Boehner promised an "eminently fair" investigation to an- swer questions that linger almost 20 months after the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission. Ap- proval of the select commit- tee's establishment was only a formality in the GOP-con- trolled House. The panel's investigation will be the eighth on Beng- hazi and will examine the entirety of the attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Indepen- dent, bipartisan and GOP- led probes have faulted the State Department for inad- equate security at the out- post, leading to four demo- tions. No attacker has yet been brought to justice. Republicans say they're unsatisfiedwithexplanations sofar,andtheyhaveleveleda range of accusations against President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other senior administration officials. Chief among them: That the administration misled the American people aboutthenatureoftheattack duringapresidentialelection and stonewalled congressio- nal investigators.
