Eddie Bernice Johnson: “I want to commend Congressman Lipinski for introducing the Sustainable Chemistry Research and Development Act.”

Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great pleasure to pay tribute to the life and legacy of former Speaker of the House James "Jim" Wright, who passed away on Wednesday, May 6, at the age of 92.

Speaker Wright was a visionary who served the people of Fort Worth and this Nation well.

He is among the most influential Speakers in the history of the House of Representatives.

So also an enthusiastic supporter of the CHIPS and Science Act, which, as you know, really is building on quantum technologies.
