horsford: thank you. and you were very clear and i know mr. clyburn would expect nothing less than for us to lay out what our solution is. i know some people ask, well, what is the congressional plaque caucus' position on how to address poverty? and you touched on it. it's the 10/20/30 policy. this means that 10% of funds from certain accounts would be directed to areas that have poverty rates of 20% for the last 30 years in america. so rather than, you know, spending money everywhere, let's spend it where there's the most need, the most critical need and where there has been generational need now for 30 years, so that we can see the type of outcomes, the return on investments and the change that people so desperately need. mr. butterfield: absolutely. mr. horsford: thank you to the gentleman from north carolina. now i'd like to turn to the chairman, the cho chairman for the progress -- the co-chairman for the progressive caucus, the gentleman from minnesota, i want to commend him and the progressive cauc

horsford: thank you, ms. lee, thank you for the solutions you are offering to move people out of poverty and into the middle class. and recognizing that many of these programs that those on the other side propose to cut are safety nets. the sequester alone would cut $85 billion but would directly affect $50 million americans living below the poverty income line. so they're hurting the very people that we should be sustaining during these -- ms. lee: adding insult to injury. that's what happens, congressman. mr. horsford: at this time i'd like to turn to my colleague, the gentlelady from wisconsin, the alum of trio, and she is a dynamic leader who talks so much about the need to help young people get the quality education, particularly first generation college student, and i know we're having a college student debate right now on whether or not we're going to allow student loan rates to double on july 1, the republican plan puts students in debt, provides no certainty, we're hoping that between now and july 1

horsford: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. horsford: first let me commepped the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. mcgotsche, and your leadership for 18 years on fighting for the needs of snap program assistance for our most vulnerable citizens. i rise and stand with mr. mcgovern against this procedural rule and in support of the underlying amendment that mr. ack govern, myself, and other -- mr. mcgovern, myself, and other members have. this amendment will prevent cuts to the snap federal program. the risk management acts of 2013 includes $20.5 billion in cuts to the snap program. that will come on top of an expiration of a benefits boost from the recovery act of 2009. snap provides food assistance to approximately 46 million americans in need and it is stimated that at least 353,000 nevadan also the -- will feel the impact of the double whammy of snap cuts from the farm bill and expiration of the recovery act boost. the bottom line is that the snap program is our nation's most import

horsford: thank you, mr. speaker. this bipartisan amendment i am offering along with congressman heck would help address some of our concerns about the calculations in the urban area security initiative funding formula. uasi provides critical funding to cities that are at risk for a terrorist attack. as a member of the authorizing committee for the department of homeland security, i want to work with the appropriators on this concern. i have become deeply concerned about how the formula are currently being used by the department of homeland security will determine eligibility for this funding. the formula sometimes counts multiple buildings as a single site, something that shortchanges the las vegas strip. it also punishes cities for successfully implementing anti-terror programs. well, we should not be the victims of our own success. as it stands now, critical anti-terror programs for major tourist destinations around the country are being defunded, including for las vegas, new orleans and orlando, to name a few. tha

horsford: thank you, mr. speaker. and it's good to see the freshman class president from the other side at the speaker's podium this evening. mr. speaker, on tuesday, the supreme court struck down critical parts of the voting rights act and i like my colleagues, am deeply disappointed in this decision. justice scalia said the voting rights act is quote a racial entitlement. well, voting is not an entitlement. it is not a racial entitlement. it is a right for every eligible voting-age citizen. it is an american entitlement. voting suppression tactics have become more sophisticated but not disappeared. the act blocked more than 1,000 voting law changes between 1982 and 2006. and last year alone, the voting rights act stopped a voter i.d. law in texas and a florida law that eliminated early voting days. now it has fallen to congress to safeguard our most sacred right and i will work with anyone in either party to protect this fundamental right. i urge this body to work together to fix the voting rights act and i yield ba
