The funds reinstate the evictions to prevent even bigger housing crisis . Mr. Speaker. The senate is grappling back into session and we continue to watch for ministers just need time at cspan. Org. Now live to the senate floor here on cspan2. Mr. Lankford mr. President. I have three requests for committees to meet during todays session of the senate. They have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. The presiding officer duly noted. Mr. Lankford mr.

Wed love to see them, but nobody really has offered some concrete examination of what the consequences for taxpayers would be of these proposals. And so today were going to be, were releasing two papers to look at that. The first is a look at what the current cost to taxpayers are of, under current policy.
