As the 110th Congress worked in recent weeks to wrap up its business, several bills related to international education, exchange, and travel made modest progress on Capitol Hill.

The U.S. Senate failed today in its second effort to move a package of 34 bills with bipartisan support, including the Senator Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation Act of 2007. The bills have been blocked by the opposition of Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), who opposes legislation authorizing new federal programs and funding.
