Jennifer Wexton: “Mr. Kilmer has been a friend of this subcommittee for a long time and always comes with hope for a better tomorrow.”

As most of you now know, last year I was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP. I describe it as 'Parkinson's on steroids,' and I don't recommend it.

The least we can do to not just help our foster youth but also help prevent homelessness is to catch our young adults when they need us the most and house them.

I have no doubt you will continue Chairman Cole's high standard of leadership for this great subcommittee.

I also want to thank you for your and the administration's steadfast support for our Nation's transit systems and transit workers.
