COLLEAGUES, I'D LIKE TO SHARE A QUOTE WITH YOU TODAY. THIS ONE IS FROM
CHARLES HAMILTON HOUSTON. CHARLES WAS A PROMINENT
AFRICAN-AMERICAN LAWYER. HE WAS A DEAN AT THE HARVARD UNIVERSITY
LAW SCHOOL AND NAACP'S FIRST SPECIAL COUNSEL. HE TRANSITIONED WAY
BACK IN 1950, BUT HIS WORDS TODAY ARE VERY APPROPRIATE AS THEY WERE
WHEN HE SAID THEM. I HOPE THAT WE CAN GET PAST IT BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE
STILL HERE. THESE WORDS SAY: THE RACE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES IS
THE TYPE OF UNPLEASANT PROBLEM WHICH WE WOULD RATHER DO WITHOUT, BUT
WHICH REFUSES TO BE BURIED. WE STILL HAVE TIME TO BURY IT, I HOPE WE'LL
EAGERLY WORK ON IT, MR. SPEAKER.
COLLEAGUES SHOULD ALSO BE MINDFUL THAT YOU DO HAVE
ON YOUR DESK A MAIN CALENDAR AND YOU ALSO HAVE A DEBATE LIST. AFTER

COLLEAGUES WHO DESIRE TO SPEAK. WE WILL THEN CONSENT NEW BILLS
BEGINNING WITH CALENDAR NO. 464 WHICH IS ON PAGE 45. COLLEAGUES
SHOULD ALSO BE MINDFUL THAT THE SPEAKER HAS ANNOUNCED TODAY'S
SCHEDULE OF JOINT BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEES AND WE SHOULD BE --
REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE GOING TO START TODAY AT 1:00.

GENERAL OUTLINE OF WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO TODAY. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: THANK YOU, SIR.
ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: WE WILL DO

MR. GANDOLFO.
MR. GANDOLFO: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. WE'RE

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: CERTAINLY. ON BEHALF
OF MR. GANDOLFO, YOUR FATHER, AND TO YOUR WIFE WE WELCOME YOU HERE
