Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks on the Floor of the House of Representatives in support of H.R. 51, the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, which would grant statehood to the residents of the District of Columbia.  Below are the Speaker’s remarks:
 
Speaker Pelosi.  Thank you, Mr. Speaker.  I thank the gentlewoman, Madam Chair, for yielding and salute her for her leadership in bringing this historic legislation to the Floor.  All of us join in saluting Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, who has been the patron saint of D.C. statehood since she came to Congress.  She has been tireless, persistent and dissatisfied.  She has built historic support for this bill, which passed in the previous Congress with 235 votes.   ....
