Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, H.R. 1921, the Protect and Restore Lake Pontchartrain Basin Act, introduced by my friend Garret Graves from Louisiana, would reauthorize the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program to provide assistance to the Federal, State, and local watershed partners in addressing the water quality challenges that are in this especially sensitive area. I support the critical work these partners are doing to help restore the water quality of the lake, and this bill will help continue this work. I commend Aviation Subcommittee Ranking Member Garret Graves for his leadership on this issue, and I urge support of this legislation. I have no further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
