Kline to deliver weekly address for GOP

U.S. Rep. John Kline is delivering the Republican Party's response to President Barack Obama's weekly address.

The Republican from Minnesota's 2nd District is speaking for his party Saturday after the president's remarks. Both sets of comments are broadcast on radio and online.

Kline's office says he will discuss the debate in Congress over student loan interest rates. Interest rates for federal student loans are set to double on July 1 unless Congress and the White House can agree how to head off the increase.

Kline is chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee. He is a six-term congressman and lives in Burnsville.
