Use all of my power as Majority Leader to secure a funding package that can restore and transform the New York City Housing Authority.

In order to place the bills on the calendar under the provisions of rule XIV, I would object to further proceeding en bloc. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Objection having been heard, the bills will be placed on the calendar.
