Proposals for a Water Resources Development Act of 2022: Members' Day Hearing

We had three 500-year floods three years in a row, one of which was the result of Hurricane Harvey.

we in Congress and in the government need to do that imagining.

Nature-based solutions are very important to my constituents in Houston.

I am proud and excited of the work we did together in the Water Resources Development Act of 2020.

Authorizing the Coastal Texas Study and the Port of Houston policy request is in our national security interest and in our national economic interest.

There are two main drivers for our priorities, and I know they are the priorities of this committee and of this Congress.

Texans have spent more than a decade imagining, designing, and working to address the historic events that we have experienced in our recent past.

Thank you so much, Chairwoman Stevens, and, of course, to Chairwoman Sherrill, who just left, as well as to everyone who's here today.

I want to thank my colleague Dan Kildee for his work on the PFAS Task Force, which I'm very glad to be a part of as well.

we were very focused on the PFAS in the firefighting foam used to fight those very difficult fires to put out, and the resulting PFAS contamination that we found down into Galveston Bay.

I am delighted to bring my bill, H.R. 1917, the Hazard Eligibility and Local Projects, or HELP Act, to the floor today, and I thank Congressman Pappas, and I thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle on the Transportation and…

So we appreciate Congresswoman Fletcher's bill and efforts to make sure there's resources to process those applications.

I am glad that my bill, H.R. 5058, the Broadband Incentives for Communities Act, is one of the proposals that we will discuss today.

As this committee works to address the digital divide, we must ensure that our local governments are prepared to take advantage of these efforts and these funds.

My bill does just that: it provides grants to local governments to support their processing of applications for broadband deployment.
