Gregorio Sablan: “When the House acts this way, it's some of the most brightest…”

On the recordJune 17, 2013

When the House acts this way, it's some of the most brightest, proudest moments for me--that I am a part of this House when Congress, when Members of this House do something to right a wrong. And in this case, not just right a wrong, but because of a survey and a mistake by surveyors in the 1960s, these homeowners are now even willing to put up their own money and buy a piece of property that they thought they always owned. This is a proud moment, and I support the bill, Mr. Speaker. I yield back the balance of my time.
