“I thank Mr. Payne very much for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my colleague from the city of Houston, Harris County, our country's fourth largest city, Sheila Jackson Lee. I thank Representative Jackson Lee for always participating in these Special Order hours. Mr. Speaker, I know that, in particular, the gentlewoman's concern is Houston, being such a large part of our State, a large part of our Nation's capital economy, and the effects of this tax bill. When you start talking about something affecting Houston, with it being the fourth largest city, it can have very consequential effects on our entire State, because their economy is such a big part of what makes Texas go. Mr. Speaker, I again thank the gentlewoman for being a part of this.”
