I thank the chairman of our committee. He is doing what I would do if I were in his place, in saying: Let's give this nominee an up-or-down vote and let's have a debate on it. Our leaders are working on that, and perhaps that can be accomplished. But it must be noted that this is a nominee who has some controversy.

Mr. Chairman, thank you very much. And Chairman Comer, I want to thank you for your not only meeting with at least Republicans before this hearing, but expressing your confidence that you believe that we could have a thoughtful meeting…
We believe these witnesses represent the resiliency of this island, not just the hopes and dreams, not just the culture, but the future.
I hope that you will expect the same from Mr. Connolly, Mr. Mfume, and myself because we intend to deliver that on behalf of the American people.
We think we have to make it work, and we think in Congress, we have got to work together to make that work.
