Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, the Subcommittee on Readiness continues its works to ensure that our bases and our personnel are prepared for anything, from climate change to floods, fires, housing, and the like. Mr. Speaker, as I look at you there on the podium, I am saddened. I am going to miss you. I am going to miss the work that you have done and the extraordinary efforts you have made over your many, many years. Behind me is another woman who I am also going to miss, Jackie Speier, and Jim Cooper, who is not with us this morning. An extraordinary group of people, the three of you. You have carried this committee. You have carried all of us, and we thank you.”
