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."
