if the Republicans push our country off over the cliff in a misguided attempt to cut discretionary spending by 20 percent or more, benefits for 65 million Americans on Social Security and 18 million American veterans could be disrupted.
It is nice to have you back, and I know that you don't miss us too much here in the House of Representatives.
I don't know the chairman very well, but I expect that if you can't be at home with your constituents you would much rather be here on the Hill leading a bipartisan committee identifying and solving problems with our native communities.
I do want to commend HUD for everything you do in the fostering futures program.
