Mr. Speaker, the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station is one of western New York's most critical resources. It is not only an asset to our region's economy, but also to our Nation's security. Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station employs over 3,500 western New Yorkers and has an economic impact of more than $200 million annually. I am proud to be a part of a large group of community stakeholders who are deeply invested in the successful future of the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station. Last year, Customs and Border Protection selected the base as their top choice for construction of a new border patrol station. Mr. Speaker, I am committed to help see this proposal through, in addition to others that will ensure that the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station remains a fixture in our community for many years to come. ____________________
