John Rice Carter: “I rise to thank Speaker Denny Hastert for coming to Texas this weekend…”

On the recordJuly 25, 2006

I rise to thank Speaker Denny Hastert for coming to Texas this weekend to look at the situation on the Texas border and bringing a bipartisan delegation with him. The information that he received I think is invaluable for this House. I am proud of the fact that our Speaker goes out and goes to the areas where the crises are so that he can have a good view of what is going on. He was a great leader there. He was able to get information from these folks that showed that the borders have got to be defended and defended now. I am grateful for his attendance in Texas, and I am sure Arizona is, also. ____________________
