I urge every member of this committee to support an investment in evidence-based early childhood home visitation services and to move quickly and thoughtfully on legislation authorizing new federal funding.

I commend this Subcommittee for convening a panel of experts in order to raise awareness of the major issues surrounding home visitation.

We applaud the leadership taken by Chairman Jim McDermott with Representatives Danny Davis and Todd Platts.

We are anxious to help support this legislation in any way possible.

We congratulate the Committee for scheduling the hearing on this important proposal and for advancing the Administration's home visiting initiative in Congress.

We are grateful to Congressmen McDermott and Rangel and the members of the Subcommittee on Income Security and Family Support...

more needs to be done

Home visitation programs have a proven track record of increasing the chances that a child will have a safer, healthier, and more productive life.

I look forward to working with all of my colleagues to advance a proposal that will achieve that goal.

We applaud the efforts of both Chairman McDermott and Representative Danny Davis, as well as Representative Todd Platts...

I would like to recognize Chairman McDermott and Representatives Davis (IL), and Platts (PA) for their continued leadership on this very important strategy.
