I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to express my gratitude for the hard work and dedication put forth by Chairman Thornberry, Ranking Member Smith, and their colleagues on the Armed Services Committee in drafting the National Defense Authorization Act of 2016. I would like to thank the Rules Committee, Chairman Sessions, and Ranking Member Slaughter for their efforts in ensuring Members on both sides of the aisle had an avenue to voice their opinion. We recently finished 10 townhalls in 10 counties, and the number one thing from our constituents is making sure that Washington is held accountable. These efforts help restore our constituents' faith in this body and the process of lawmaking.
