Mr. Chairman, I yield to the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. McCollum) for the purpose of a colloquy. Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Chairman, thank you for your work on this bill providing funding to critical programs. I appreciate the opportunity to speak about the importance of the Community Services Block Grant. This program funds community action agencies that address poverty and assist seniors and other vulnerable populations in becoming self-sufficient. I have seen, in my district, the valuable services these groups provide helping people find jobs.
