Emanuel Cleaver actually said...

"I look forward to working with Chairwoman Waters to improve the Section 8 Program for Americans living in both urban and rural areas."

"We're going to need to make sure that this program is inclusive and that the reform will allow us to address the housing needs that we have in this country."

"It pains me that we failed in the 109th and 110th Congresses to do the Section 8 reform."

"We hopefully will be able to do this reform, because it's more needed now than ever."
