Political Quotes

“I rise, in fact, in support of the amendment No. 8 offered by my colleague from California (Mr. Peters), as it would allow the United States section of the International Boundary and Water Commission, or IBWC as they call it, to receive additional funding from other Federal and non-Federal partners to support water and wastewater infrastructure. This amendment will give the IBWC access to additional funding sources, enabling it to properly maintain these assets and, in turn, support cleaner training waters for our warfighters while strengthening security along our southern border. This amendment is the same text as H.R. 1948, which was favorably reported out of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and passed the House by voice vote earlier this Congress. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of the amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
