Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I am proud we are considering this excellent measure written by our dear friend, John Lewis. I know we all miss John dearly, but his legacy of advancing the cause of righteousness and justice lives on, and this is a good example. John championed the Gandhi-King Scholarly Exchange Initiative Act to further the teachings of Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Their work on civil rights and social justice should be a beacon for us all, and I am pleased we can pass a measure today to continue their invaluable work for humanity. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend and partner, Mr. McCaul. It is a pleasure once again to work with him on the committee and to work on legislation for the country and the world. Mr. Speaker, I strongly support this legislation, and I urge my colleagues to do the same. I yield back the balance of my time.”
