On the recordMarch 13, 2014
Thank you, Representative Huffman, for all the work on behalf of your constituents in northern California. I appreciate your words and sharing the story of your constituent. Again, 72,000 people every single week will lose benefits until this Congress acts, real people in California, Oregon, and real people in the State of Illinois. Next it is my privilege to yield time to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Schneider), the person who led the initiative on behalf of the House Democrats, led the initiative to discharge the bill so that we could force a vote in this House to ensure that everyone across the country and in the State of Illinois can get the benefits they need so they can continue to get by to find work.
