Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4403 is important for sustaining local jurisdictions' capabilities to counter chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats. Without the support of programs like STC, addressing and mitigating threats could become more difficult or cease to exist altogether, which would jeopardize the safety and well-being of every individual residing in our country. Passage of this legislation is vital to maintaining our preparedness and ensuring the security of the Nation against the evolving challenges posed by terrorist attacks and other high-consequence events that utilize nuclear or radiological materials. Mr. Speaker, I urge my House colleagues to support H.R. 4403, and I thank Chairman Green for his support in this measure. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
