Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1252, introduced by Representative Tony Cardenas. This bill names the post office located in Van Nuys, California, in honor of Marilyn Monroe. Miss Monroe spent her formative years in Van Nuys and attended the high school in the area. The neighborhood held a special place in her heart. She has said it--Van Nuys--was a source of joy, as it served as an escape from her turbulent childhood, and it was Van Nuys where she was discovered at the local airport. From there, Marilyn Monroe became one of America's most famous and recognizable pop icons. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
