Madam speaker, as we gather here we stand on sacred ground, the chamber of the United States house of representatives, the heart of american democracy. I will never forget the first time i saw the capitol. It was a cold january day when i was six years old, my father was about to be sworn in for his fifth term in congress representing our beloved hometown of baltimore. I was riding in the car with my brothers and were thrilled and jumping up and down and said nancy, look, theres the capitol. I would say i dont see any capitol, was it a capital a, capital b or capital c and timely i saw it. A stunning White Building with a magnificent dome, i believed then as i believe today this is the most beautiful building in the world because of what it represents. The capitol is a temple of our democracy, of our constitution, of our highest ideals. On that day, i
