I thank my friend from west Texas. I appreciate his sharing with the country and with all of us and our colleagues the testimony of his little girls and his family and their connection to Camp Mystic. He has been an extraordinary representative of Camp Mystic and those camps and has shown great leadership himself as we are all looking forward to finding ways to make sure that these camps rebuild. Mr. Speaker, before I recognize the next speaker from Texas, Coach Roger Williams, I want to note that our colleague, Buddy Carter, is in Dallas as we speak at the funeral of a little girl in his family. Buddy Carter represents Georgia down there in Savannah. His grandniece is being buried in Dallas-Fort Worth, and he is there with his family now. To show how far-reaching this was and how many people it touched, Buddy's granddaughter was also at Camp Mystic but survived. This is touching almost everybody in this Chamber in one way or another.
