we are just, right now, we just bought a unit for nine units on schrader. it was already ellis act, i think four or five people left and the four people that were left were low income seniors. those seniors are going to have a building where they can stay, and there will be five affordable units. this is so important. this is how we can also save people in their neighborhoods that they love, that they have weaved themselves into the fabric of that neighborhood. they should be able to stay. so buying existing buildings with tenants and it is a priority. 100% affordable, we all want it. i have five sites right now in district five, four in hayes valley, when we bought a year ago, the old mcdonald site in haight-ashbury. they are all 100% affordable, but there was no money, no money to build them, so now with this bond, we have an opportunity, an opportunity to build 100% affordable, to also build -- have units in there that people who make low income, very low income, can get into this housing. it is so important, and you are right. this is a two thirds vote.

schrader: when i was first elected in 2008, it was ann marie who helped me set up my office and guided me through the ins and outs of congress. i credit her with billingd the close n.i.t. family durel my office has. my thoughts this past two weeks have been with her daughter and son-in-law and grandson. her sister and brother-in-law. as we mourn a great loss and remember the incredibly strong and caring woman that was ann marine feeney. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from virginia seek recognition? >> i request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to talk about an issue of grave concern in my district. the skyline the skyline drive corridor has become the center of a drug oblem that is harming my district. it's led to the formation of the skyline drug team, which has carried out arrests including of someone thought to be a member of a mexican drug cartel that had caused

i want to thank representatives cicilline, rush, schrader, castor, kim, and blunt rochester for their leadership in the component parts of this bill which will make the security for health care better for the people. they've introduced the constituent parts of this bill. of course, i want to thank my good friend, frank pallone. nobody has worked harder for a long period of time to enhance the health care of americans. nobody has worked harder in committee, both initially on the affordable care act, of which he was a very significant part of the authorship, and since then in protecting it and trying to enhance it. this bill is important for us to pass to do just that. that's why i urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join us in standing up for the affordable care act and its benefits. not undermining the law and its reforms. having agreement on prescription reforms and bringing prices down, making generics more available is an important step, but it's not the only step that we need to take, and this is not the final step. this is a step. it's an important step. i hope that

schrader for five minutes of questioning. >> thank you, madam chairman. appreciate it very much. >> i would associate myself with the last two members that talked. because industry is unfortunately, the situation where a lot of changes,s pricing structure is opaque and complex. i don't blame anyone in any of the industry sectors for that. just grown up that way. as a result, it calls for, unfortunately, our work here to make it a little more transparent and everyone apparently loves transparency. but what that means is in the eye of the beholder is what we're hearing now. hopefully based on hearings we've had and hopefully give the american people some assurance that we're on their side and trying to help not stifle innovation but at the same time make sure they get the best deal possible out there. appreciate you being here. appreciate your discussion and role that rebates may play. having a higher list price drug get a preefrl placement on the formula formulary. could you give any examples of medicines your think that might be the case? >> well, it's ch
