Danny Davis: “I too want to welcome the Reverend Smith and the Allen Temple Church…”

On the recordSeptember 6, 2006

I too want to welcome the Reverend Smith and the Allen Temple Church and especially commend them for their work with ex-offenders and ex-offender reentry. We were very fortunate to get passed out of Judiciary before the recess the Second Chance Act; and I would hope that before we adjourn this year, that both the House and the Senate will have passed that legislation, sent it to the President's desk, and he will have signed it, because it is one of the most important things we can do. ____________________
