“I want to thank Chairman DeFazio for his leadership, his staff for working hard on this particular bill, and the ranking member and his staff for doing this. I want to talk about one project that got added, and that is the Chacon Creek in Laredo, Texas. This is a project that we have been working on for many years with the city of Laredo. Now, this will provide the flood control, the work that we need to do, that starts off from Lake Casa Blanca all the way to the Rio Grande, miles of area that will provide not only for the environment but also for the quality of life for Laredo. I want to thank Chairman DeFazio so much for his great work, and we appreciate him in Laredo, Texas.”
