“I thank the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Bass) for yielding me the time. I hope my time has not started running. We are trying to be COVID-19 safe. Mr. Speaker, let me thank the sponsor of this bill, Mr. Deutch, and his bipartisan cosponsors, and indicate my strong support for H.R. 6813, Promoting Alzheimer's Awareness to Prevent Elder Abuse, and to let him know that this is something that I think is enormously important and is seen throughout our districts. As I talk about this legislation, however, let me say what a pleasure it was for me to do a video to celebrate our virtual walk right in Houston, Texas, 2020 Walk to End Alzheimer's, where thousands will be walking in their front yards, they will be walking in backyards, they will be walking on trails, they will be walking in parks. They will be committed to ending Alzheimer's through the Houston Alzheimer's Association and the region. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank them for their great leadership. I have joined them every year at the University of Houston. These are committed and dedicated caretakers and others who want to make sure that they keep seniors safe.…”
