Well, we want to thank you for your leadership and all of the work that you have done to make Congress stronger, as well as the caucus stronger. At this time, I yield to the gentleman from Brooklyn, New York (Mr. Jeffries).

Thank you for the information on the Safety Justice Act and education. The two really go hand in hand. If our young people have more skills and are educated, then I think that we will see less crime. We always say, in my area, ``Nothing…

Thank you, Congressman Butterfield. That was certainly a great list of our achievements. Like you said, that was just some of the things that we have been able to accomplish, and there is a lot more that you can say. We can go on and on…

Thank you, Congressman Payne. Thank you for those kinds words. It has truly been an honor serving with you. I yield to the esteemed chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, the gentleman from North Carolina, Congressman G.K. Butterfield.

In my diversity training that I have done for many years now, we have always talked about groups need allies. Allies give you support and encouragement and the strength to go on. At this time, I yield to the gentlewoman from California…

I thank Representative Payne for those words. One thing that you talked about with the University of Missouri, I thought it was great that when they did protests and sit-ins, that there were White students, football players, and coaches…

If we are going to destroy them, how do we cut off those new fighters, those new recruits?

Thank you. I thank my colleagues for lending their voices for this important conversation about saving our communities, and I will be submitting some other work from other colleagues not here tonight. I yield back the balance of my time.
