Last month, I asked you to take a survey on what should be the top five priorities for the 112th Congress. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation.
I wanted to update you on what I was doing in Sacramento last week to ensure that the new health care law is implemented efficiently and effectively.
As Sacramento's representative in Congress, I have made it a top priority to transform our region into a global leader in clean technology. We are uniquely positioned to be at the forefront of meeting America's growing clean energy needs, and I am working hard to create jobs and ensure that the Sacramento becomes a Clean Tech Capital.
Yesterday, I introduced H.R. 433, the Natomas Flood Protection Improvements Act, in the House of Representatives.
This week, the House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 2, a measure to repeal the historic health care law passed by Congress last spring. The measure would repeal patients' rights and put insurance companies back in charge.
I am honored to continue serving as your Representative in Congress, and will be advocating for Sacramento's priorities every day and working to ensure that our local concerns are addressed. That includes strengthening and diversifying our regional economy, creating jobs, working to secure funding for our flood protection projects, and promoting Sacramento as the clean energy capital.
Mr. CAMPBELL. I thank the gentlelady for yielding.
Mr. CAMPBELL. Madam Speaker, there is a lot of talk these days about rescue plans and bailouts and TARP and stimulus packages. Letand#39;s take a minute to reflect on what has happened.
Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. Chairman, I would like to have a colloquy with the chairman of the committee.
Mr. Chairman, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act was intended to apply to financial institutions, I believe, without regard to their form of ownership: public, private, mutual associations. Is that your understanding? Is that correct?
