Edolphus Towns: “I would like to start by expressing my support for the Administration's Education budget request.”

Congress should pass the Data Accountability and Trust Act; H.R. 2221 from the 111th Congress.

When I walk the streets in my district and I listen to the people that are losing their homes, and then you look at these salaries, one would say, wait a minute, why don't we take these salaries and save a whole block.

We should take swift action to pass it in this Congress.

The Honorable Edolphus Towns, a Member of Congress from the State of New York, Opening Statement
