"This is a very important hearing and I look forward to hearing more from our witnesses about today's bills before the committee."

"I think it is time to take a look at this."

"I would like to get a little clarification discussion from Mr. Thomas about the requirement that FHA has sufficient reserves to pay predicted claims over 30-year period."
