there s another extremely important point that the senator from virginia made, and that is that this rule which has been criticized by some is in direct response to a g.a.o. report, a direct response to g.a.o. criticizing h.u.d. for not doing a good job in carrying out this part of the 1968 fair housing act. that is so important. how many of us in this chamber have repeatedly looked to g.a.o. for advice on how we can improve how federal programs work? well, look to g.a.o., look to its 2010 report which was very critical of h.u.d., and surely it is significant that when h.u.d. last year issued the new regulations, the g.a.o. said fine and closed out its recommendations as being completed. that s significant. this wasn t some wild scheme that was dreamed up by bureaucrats at h.u.d. as some have claimed. this was in response to a report from the government accountability act. we talk about how we want more efficiency, better accountability. that s why we have the g.a.o., and thi

them would have to be here. and so we re grateful that they are. and our entire nation expresses its profound gratitude. more important, we re so grateful that they were there. some on duty, others off duty. all rising above and beyond the call of duty. all saving the lives of people they didn t know. that distinction that these 13 officers of valor saved the lives of strangers is the first of several qualities they share. but their bravery, if it had not been for their bravery, we likely would have lost a lot of people, mothers, brothers, sons, daughters, friends, and loved ones. thankfully they are still with their families today because these officers were where they needed to be most at a critical time. at a gas station during a routine patrol. in the middle of a busy hospital, in a grocery store, on the campus of a community college. near an elementary school where a sheriff s deputy s children and his wife taught. in each of these moments these officers were true to the
