Has the gentleman used up all the time? The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman from Texas has expired.

Yes, I claim the time in opposition, and I'm the only speaker, so I will reserve my time. The CHAIR. The gentleman from Massachusetts has the only time remaining.

I have the right to close, and I am my only speaker. The CHAIR. Does the gentleman wish to claim time in opposition?

Reclaiming my time, the gentleman quoted Barofsky, quoted La Raza. Those figures are nowhere in there. And their credit is not worse off because they're in the program. That's the fundamental flaw. What they are saying is--and people have…

I yield 3 minutes to another member of the committee, the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Carson).

I yield myself the 30 seconds the gentleman wouldn't allow me to mention--Chicanos Por la Causa, which he keeps invoking, in what I must say is an inflammatory way, yes, it has $137 million in eight States. It is a consortium of several…

Please instruct the gentleman as to the rules. He is blatantly wrong. It is not simply purchasing property. This gives the city money, and maybe that's why they are so wrong on this. They don't understand the program. It includes giving…

I yield myself another minute, because these people take a lot of work to get them to explain it. The fact is that it isn't simply to buy it from a responsible owner. It includes money, as we have tried to explain to them, to demolish…

I reclaim my time to point out the evasion. The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has again expired.
