“I am delighted to come to the floor today to praise the Senate for the most recent action in approving the motion to proceed on the issue of the day in America, and that is the housing crisis, the mortgage crisis, and what has been happening to our homeowners, mortgage companies, and our communities. I pay particular attention and thanks to Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader; Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader; Chuck Schumer; Lamar Alexander; John Ensign; Chris Dodd; Richard Shelby; and a host of Members who came together, and instead of agreeing to disagree, agreed to agree and set a platform from which this Senate, in only the way the Senate can do it, can deliberate the most pressing issue of the day. I thank them for incorporating and including me in those discussions, and I want to share one of the things I shared with them and what I think should be a key part of any solution we offer on behalf of the housing market and the mortgage crisis.”
