Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., was among a select group of members of Congress at the White House today for the official signing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004.
"It was an honor to stand beside the President today and represent the (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) Committee. We recognized the importance of this legislation. I'm pleased we met the deadline and finished it this congressional session and didn't have to start over. The legislation includes common sense flexibility provisions that allow schools to target federal funds to areas where it will do their students the most good. It also allows teachers in rural school districts who teach multiple subjects more ways to meet the 'highly qualified' certification standard," said Enzi.
Enzi was a member of the conference committee charged with working out differences between the House and Senate versions and an original cosponsor of the bill. He said the legislation makes many improvements that will benefit students. Some of the improvements include earlier access to services and support, state determination of their own definition of a highly qualified teacher, more flexibility for states to fund special education programs, and schools would get greater flexibility to discipline students.
"I'm looking forward to working with my colleagues on other important education issues, such as job training, lifelong learning, higher education and more in the HELP Committee during the 109th Congress," Enzi said.

Enzi Peruses Budget
February 2005 - President Bush sent his fiscal year 2006 budget proposal to Congress on Monday, February 7, 2005. Enzi said it's important to understand the budget process and the Senate Budget Committee's responsibilities.“The Budget Committee, and Congress as a whole when it approves a budget, sets limits on total spending under broad categories, but we do not cut or fund specific programs. That comes later during the authorization and appropriations process. We come up with a total discretionary spending number that Congress has to stay within,” Enzi said. “What we're doing with the budget is deciding whether Congress will have any discipline in reducing the deficit. I'm hopeful we will be able to pass a budget that does that. Once we have the budget cap in place, anybody who wants to add a new program will have to find ways to pay for it by suggesting cuts from existing expenditures. They can’t just add dollars. That’s the discipline part of the process." -

Washington, D.C., July 1, 2005 – U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., attended a White House bill signing ceremony Wednesday for a bill he ushered through his committee that is designed to help ease health care access to the poor, underinsured and uninsured by connecting them with individuals who can help them move through America’s complex health care system.
The Patient Navigator, Outreach, and Chronic Disease Prevention Act, S.898 relies on local resources and people working in community health centers and local hospitals to identify patients who may need help. By drawing from the knowledge of these local medical experts, patients will be able to identify and utilize health programs that Congress has already created, according to Enzi, Chairman of the Health Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
“I am pleased with the bill because it will help Wyoming stay healthy and overcome barriers in the healthcare system. We have all had frustrations with the system and this bill aims to simplify the process for those with fewer resources. It will make an impact in Wyoming, because of our rural population,” Enzi said.
The Patient Navigator bill also strives to promote health screenings, schedule transportation to appointments and make sure that doctors instructions are followed and understood.
“Some basic healthcare services are out of reach for uninsured and underinsured people, especially those in rural communities. Personal Navigation will improve access to these services and, in turn, prevent chronic disease later in life.”
The bipartisan bill is supported by a broad range of organizations including the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the National Rural Health Association and the American Cancer Society.

Enzi comments on Hurricane Katrina
Mother Nature unleashed her fury and now people are suffering. A tornado struck Wright August 12. People lost what it had taken them all their lives to build. Some lost their homes. Some lost their lives. The people of Wright, of Campbell County and of Wyoming struck back though with a tremendous outpouring of generosity and caring for their neighbors.
On Aug. 29th the people of Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and other parts of the Gulf Coast region were hit with what some have described as the worst natural disaster in U.S. history as Hurricane Katrina wrought devastation on the people there. Many are feared dead and many thousands are without adequate food, water and shelter. Chaos and confusion swept in in the wake of the flood waters.
The suffering from this catastrophe that has taken place on U.S. soil is on a scale hard for many of us to imagine. We have come to the aid of the people of Wright and I have faith we will also come through for those who are now in pain because of Hurricane Katrina. They need our volunteers, our donations and our prayers. Listed here are ways we can help. I hope you will join me in taking action to bring comfort to our fellow Americans in need.
