Elijah Cummings actually said...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And I want to, first of all, thank you for calling this hearing. It is indeed a very important hearing.

I live in a HUBZone-type area where businesses are struggling. So I want the programs to work properly.

Let me say from the outset that I have a tremendous interest in HUBZones.

It seems clear from the evidence that you wanted to take full advantage of the HUBZone program, and not to help D.C. residents.
