This is a good bill. This is a bill that will help move more people to shelter, particularly our veterans, who are so in need. When I think about Jack Kemp and his inspiration for this so many years ago, he frequently quoted Theodore…

Today I rise with my friend John Boozman, former Member of this House and now a Senator from Arkansas, to welcome today's guest chaplain, my dear friend, Rabbi Barry Block of Congregation B'nai Israel in Little Rock, Arkansas. Realizing…

Again, I don't oppose this amendment. I urge its adoption. But I, again, remind this House that we had a better policy in the bipartisan Waters-McHenry bill that would do more for small business and that Republicans support a…
