Madam Chair, to close, I would like to thank Chairwoman Lowey for her leadership. I look forward to working with her on legislation that addresses both natural disasters and the humanitarian crisis on the border. We should provide much-needed relief to communities recovering from hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and tornadoes, but we cannot turn our back on a border crisis that is growing worse by the day. Law enforcement agencies providing humanitarian assistance are being rushed and pushed to the limit, and we must act now. The chairwoman and I have worked together for many years to find solutions in the national interest. I know we will be able to do so again. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
