I am extremely proud that our committee is holding the first hearing on D.C. Statehood in the House of Representatives in more than 25 years.
That year, Bayou La Batre did elect its first Asian-American city council member.

If we had a House and if we had a Senate that would pass legislation and we had a President that would sign it, this problem which is the subject of this hearing today could be fixed.
