I am very supportive of the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. For months I have been hearing from restaurants in my district about the need to pass the bill which will provide $120 billion for grants to restaurants.
I appreciate HUD's effort to respond to the fatal fires in my congressional district in Philadelphia, and Mr. Torres' leadership that he has taken not just in his particular district but for what is occurring.
I thank Mr. Larson for hosting this Special Order hour so we can discuss the importance of this country's most effective anti-poverty program. Social Security is an earned benefit. It is the insurance people pay for with every paycheck…
I hope that we can continue our bipartisan work to pass this bill through the House this Congress.
