Political Quotes

“In closing, let me just, once again, thank our chairman, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Oxley) for his diligence and perseverance in the way he has handled the committee, to produce many good products over this session, and when it comes to housing, he has given us the backing we needed; the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Frank), the ranking member, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Waters), our ranking member of the subcommittee, who has helped so much on this bill and also to everybody again that made this bill possible. I just want to conclude by saying it is a dream for many Americans to have their homes, from all walks of life. We are taking a step today on the floor of this House to do that. This is a bill that every Member of this House can be proud of. It is a bill that they can support, and it is a bill that is going to do something for generations to come as people establish their home, as people are able to take care of their families and be part of their communities in a very, very productive way. Again, Mr. Speaker, in closing and in urging support, I want to thank the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Harris), who had the desire, the tenacity and definitely put in all the time needed to make sure that this bill became a reality today. Without her, we would not be here today producing this bill, which, again, will help future generations. So I urge support of the bill.”
