“Eagle Scout Chris Collins, thank you very much. By the way, one of those presidents of the Boy Scouts of America was Ed Whitacre. When I was at AT&T, Mr. Whitacre led the Boy Scouts of America, understanding how important it is. Ladies and gentlemen, the gentleman from Texas, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, the gentleman from Dallas, Texas, is also an Eagle Scout. Jeb Hensarling not only is a bright, young, thoughtful, articulate leader in the United States Congress, he is Eagle Class of 1971. Chairman Hensarling, as an Eagle Scout, not only distinguished himself to Scouting, but also, that led him to Texas A&M University and then, further, to the University of Texas Law School. He is a young man who not only deeply believes in his country and his God, but he believes in the things that have brought him forward to become a leader in Congress. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas, Eagle Scout Jeb Hensarling.”
