On the recordJanuary 18, 2022
When I became the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, which is not just the largest conservative caucus in Congress but the largest caucus overall in the entire United States Capitol, I had to choose someone to lead the Republican Study Committees' Budget and Spending Task Force. For almost 50 years, this task force and the Republican Study Committee has put forth a fiscally responsible balanced budget in the Congress to lead the way toward fiscal responsibility. And no one has done a better job of that in my time in Congress than Kevin Hern, a small business owner from the great State of Oklahoma. He has chaired and run this effort well. Over the last year, we put out a budget that we showed to the Congress. We could balance the budget in 6 years. That is in stark contrast to what the Democrats and President Biden have done to put forth the largest budget that this country has ever seen. I don't just appreciate the leadership of Representative Hern; I am proud of the effort he put forward. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Hern).
