to steal a line from melville, he was my harvard and my yale.think and appreciate and observe the world the way walter did. i even learned how to handle my own very, very small celebrity watching him enjoy with good humor, a smile, and patience his slack-jawed admirers. our happy friendship began years ago. we were hosting a financed raiser at my home down on the chesapeake bay. walter and betsy were the celebrity couple. it was a rather dull affair, actually. mrs. cronkite seemed content. she was whistling a little ditty to herself. seemingly. of course, all of us that know betsy's little whistle, and the nuclear submarine might herald the same concern. betsy was done fundraising and ready to go down to the old annapolis waterfront to visit a small 100-year-old saloon that i just happened to own. we had great fun that night and spent the next day on the water. for the first day of a lifetime of sailing together. visits to each other's homes, laughter, and lots of adventures. walter and i sailed our boats side by side or shared the same deck for

speaker, this act is called the frank melville supportive housing investment act. he was a constituent of mine. he and his widowed wife started the melville charitable trust, which funds much of the affordable housing and supportive housing advocacy work in the northeast and throughout this country. frank melville is no longer with us, but this bill which we hope to pass today and bring to the senate for its consideration does justice to his legacy. i commend this bill to the house floor for passage. i think it is going to do so much to live up to the initial promise of this nation's commitment to individuals with physical and metropolitanal disabilities. and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from connecticut reserves. the gentleman from florida, mr. posey, is now recognized. mr. posey: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: so ordered. mr. posey: congresswoman biggert is unable to be here today, but i would like to take this opportunity to recognize her work on this legislation. as an orange co-sp

and there are lines from herman melville's novel "pierre" that expressed the tragedy of my father's last years in life. in tremendous extremities human souls are like drowning men. well enough they know they are in peril, well enough they know the causes of that peril. nevertheless, the sea is the sea and these drowning men do drown. i think that's what he faced. he knew it. he understood the situation. he couldn't have known -- no one could have known better than him the financial processes at work but that didn't mean that he could save himself or really his family because when he died and the properties on which he had gambled our financial future became worth nothing, we were left with nothing. and he had five children that he left in that situation. and that's why my relatives thought, you know, he should have gotten out, you know, why did he care about other people? why didn't he watch out for his own family? and these are the kind of horrible tension that people were put in because this isn't about personalities and it isn't about individual prejudices. it's about a financial syst

crowd and saw virtually every human you could possibly think of, i was reminded of remember minute melville's quote, "our blood is as the flood of the amazon, made up of the thousand noble currents, all pouring into one. we are not a nation, so much as a world." and there i was, with the monuments in front of me, as this fireworks exploded over the city, jefferson partially inspired, tens of thousands of images that i had taken, all in my book, here, across the 50 states, started racing through my mind. i thought of all of the skylines, i thought of the presidents. i thought of macy's day parade rose bowl parade, the small towns, the farms, where i group up off of route 66 and looked at all of these 76 new american citizens and as the fireworks climaxed i realized that, for me, my journey to capture and to photograph democracy could never be taken as a single image. it could never be accomplished in a single iconic moment. instead, my portrait of democracy would be a gigantic mosaic. if you think back to your are history and think of cerat's pointedalism, each -- pointsalism, every dot, it d
