                 SENATE MUST PASS THE SECOND CHANCE ACT

  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I too want to welcome the 
Reverend Smith and the Allen Temple Church and especially commend them 
for their work with ex-offenders and ex-offender reentry.
  We were very fortunate to get passed out of Judiciary before the 
recess the Second Chance Act; and I would hope that before we adjourn 
this year, that both the House and the Senate will have passed that 
legislation, sent it to the President's desk, and he will have signed 
it, because it is one of the most important things we can do.
