Steny Hoyer said "I thank the gentleman for his comments, and as he observes, House Members have participated in this. There is a wonderful organization known as Faith & Politics. We believe strongly in the separation of church and State, but as I tell people, we do not believe in the separation of the values our faiths teach and the policies that we pursue. There is that discussion, and multifaiths are represented in those discussions. As the majority leader and I are of different faiths, we are of one mind with respect to ensuring that the values of our respective faiths are realized in our public policies. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ___________________
