             COMMENDING CHICAGO ON INITIATING NEW POLICIES

  (Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend the 
mayor of the city of Chicago for initiation of a new set of policies 
designed to help facilitate the reentry of individuals with criminal 
records back into normal and productive life.
  These policies include apprenticeship and job opportunities with the 
Chicago Transit Authority, city departments, and other municipal 
agencies, and--on a limited basis--the ability to access public housing 
as a place to live.
  These are important initiatives for the reentry into community and 
for the citizens of Chicago. I commend Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
