I urge this Committee and this Congress to carefully study the record amassed during the extensive hearings and field work and to fulfill the promise of our Constitution and restore protections needed to ensure that African Americans, Latinos, and other people of color enjoy equal voice in our democracy.
Fudge emphasizes the need to restore Voting Rights Act protections for minorities.

Lead is a major issue in this country, and we do know that most homes built prior to 1978 have lead paint in them.
We believe that we are today 1.5 million homes short--housing units short of where we should be.
I am committed more than I ever have been to try to help people who live in conditions that I have not seen in many places.
We need a permit and authorization like FEMA does so we can go in immediately and start to help people.
