I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time until the gentleman from Michigan yields back.
I strongly oppose Mr. Burgess' amendment. This amendment is interesting to me because Republicans have, without fail, consistently cited the materiality standard both here on the House floor and in the Financial Services Committee as a…
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Amendment No…
I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, every day the men and women of the United States Capitol Police protect the U.S. Capitol. They protect us, they protect our staff, they protect journalists and other visitors who…
Thank you very much, Chairman Cleaver. I want to start by saying how much I appreciate how you have drawn from your experience as mayor to dive deep into Community Development Block Grants, and to provide leadership on needed reforms.
I have no further speakers and I am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I yield myself the balance of my time. There is an extraordinary story to tell about the…
I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time until Mr. McHenry yields back. Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote for this good bipartisan bill that will help victims. The…
May I inquire as to how much time we have remaining in this debate? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from California has 17\1/2\ minutes remaining.
As cryptocurrencies grow exponentially, I have organized a working group of Democratic Members to engage with regulators and experts to do a deep dive on this poorly-understood and minimally-regulated industry.
Today's hearing has highlighted the need to move forward urgently on legislation to make Housing Choice Vouchers universally available.
It is nothing short of a moral outrage that our essential workers, upon whom all of us depend, increasingly cannot afford to live in a city or a country that could not survive and succeed without them.
I look forward to working with my Republican colleagues to help get the rental assistance into the hands of the American people who need it most.
I am really tired of funding a broken system, and why aren't we doing something bold like a universal voucher system?
A universal housing voucher would be very effective in terms of stimulating new housing construction.
I am committed to, and the Supreme Court requires, ensuring that people confronting mental illness, substance addiction, or other health challenges can live in the community.
Discrimination against the people who use these vouchers has curtailed what little progress we have made with homelessness.
The best path to housing as a human right, to housing as an entitlement, is housing vouchers for all, which has been proposed by Chairwoman Waters.
As far as I am concerned, housing is as much a human right as education, and housing ought to be as much of an entitlement as education.
My Republican colleagues know that being fully-employed doesn't guarantee being able to afford housing.
We need these vouchers. Expert research shows that housing vouchers prevent homelessness.
Finally, my Republican colleagues are simply wrong about the effectiveness of Housing First.
I have deep concerns about the lack of transparency and accountability that is a hallmark of the SPAC process.
I am so pleased that you are holding this hearing, because information regarding Emergent is absolutely concerning.
Are you telling me that Robert Kadlec had nothing to do with the awarding of the contract to Emergent?
