last year, due in no small part to Congressman Bobby Scott of Virginia, we were able to get record amounts of funding for HBCUs.

I think about the January 6th assault on the Capitol quite a bit, and I just wonder whether or not it makes sense...

I think when we start talking about the wife makes the decision, it harkens back to a day that I think--that I thought we had left behind.

I try not to be a Cro-Magnon or troglodytic in my attitudes about new technology.

I thank Madam Chair for yielding. Let me begin my comments by thanking the gentlewoman, as I have done in front of you and away from you, because I think you have placed housing on the front burner in this country right now, and it could…

the Federal emergency rental assistance funding that we fought so hard for on this committee is continuing to reach those who are in need.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 218. Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, on July 22, 2021, I was unable to be present to cast my vote on the Averting Loss of Life and Injury by Expediting SIVs Act of 2021 or the Allies…

Do you think that we need to start trying to make sure that poor people living in those areas--as we are building affordable housing, should not we start thinking about building them with a higher level of sustainability?

I think there seems to be a great interest in trying to make sure that we are successfully getting the other side looking bad as opposed to trying to get the policy straightened out.

It has been longer than 40 years with those problems and mismanagement of immigration.

I think that for SPACs, the perfect type of investment that goes wrong is that a company is very heavily hyped.

I am just amazed at what goes on. I am not sure that the statement issued by the SEC is going to do anything in and of itself.

I have no further speakers and am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time until Mr. Hill yields back.

Let me, first of all, thank Chairwoman Waters for including my legislation, my Debt Collection Improvement Act, into the Stop Debt Collection Abuse Act, which would, among other things, extend the protections in the Fair Debt Collection…

Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 131.

I am pleased that the President's American Jobs Plan includes a broad framework for investments in affordable housing.
