Eddie Bernice Johnson: “Our counterintelligence community must work hand-in-hand with research institutions to help mitigate the risk of these…”

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.

Last month, I introduced and withdrew an amendment, at the request of Chairman Lucas, that incapsulates my legitimate concerns on the disparate impacts AI technologies have on people that look like me.

We want people who are intellectually curious, I think, to get those people and get them into the field.

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