On the recordDecember 10, 2015
As I began, let me thank the first responders of this Nation and thank their families for the sacrifice that they make. Our first responders rush into dangerous conditions to protect us. They deserve to have the peace of mind that their families are safe as they courageously help others and other families during disaster and crisis. Now, their plate is enhanced. It is fuller dealing with not only these disasters, but the potential of a terrorist act. So I want to extend my gratitude to all of those who have offered their support, again, in particular, the International Association of Fire Chiefs for their support in working with us. I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 2795. I yield back the balance of my time.
