I mean, as they tell us, housing is transit and transit is housing. The two are inexorably linked.
Thank you, Chair. The chair is right; this subcommittee funds programs that impact every district in the country.
I reminded the staff here today that a gentleman named Edward Everett spoke for 3 hours at Gettysburg, and no one remembers it. Lincoln spoke for under 3 minutes; a lesson for all of us.
I also look forward to working with you and this entire committee in this next Congress. There is a lot of work to do, but couldn't ask for better partners.

As the chairman of the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee, I rise today in strong support of the FY23 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill. First, I thank the staff on both sides for their…
