Thank you, Madam President. Just briefly, I have circulated to my colleagues an article from the Wall Street Journal that was printed a couple weeks ago about my favorite intuition, Bennett College. I will say to you that we've overcome many challenges in the last two years at Bennett. And on Saturday morning, we B. Cole as our 14th President. And as Chair of the Board, I will preside overe that investiture service. I want to thank all people on Council and the City of Philadelphia who have supported Bennett College, one of two African-American institutions for women in this country. Spelman is the other college. And I say that because, not only do we work in our jobs as legislators, but we all care about education, public education and higher education. And my commitment to Bennett College is well known throughout this City and country. And we are on the move and we're going to have some great news in the coming months about that college. Bill Cosby will our gala star tomorrow night, and we have a wonderful weekend planned. So give us your blessings as we move to induct this wonderful, outstanding woman, Johnnetta Cole as our 14th President. Thank you very much.
Congratulations, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Cohen.
Thank you, Madam President. In addition to the good news that us, let me inject a note of seriousness. At 1:30 this afternoon in Courtroom 426, Judge Carrafiello is holding a hearing to determine whether or not the City Council's effort to obtain the testimony of the PHA Director will be required. I would urge members of the Law and Government Committee, particularly, to join Council President Verna and myself at that time to be in the courtroom when Judge Carrafiello calls up the case. It's an important case because if any agency in the City Government can defy and refuse to testify, I don't know what happens to the Legislative Government in Philadelphia. So we've got to fight that case to the end, and that is not a case that I'm about to agree to hold for any moment. So I urge all of Councilmembers, please if you possibly can, come to Courtroom 426 at 1:30 this afternoon. Thank you, Madam President.
Thank you, Councilman. Are there any other speeches on the part of the Majority? (No response.)
Seeing none, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Tasco for a motion to adjourn.
