First Responders Passport Act of 2019

Floor Speech

Date: Sept. 24, 2019
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Transportation

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the First Responders Passport Act, and I thank the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Chabot) for introducing this bill.

Americans who answer the call to service in response to disasters abroad are some of the best that America has to offer. Often first on the scene when calamity strikes, our fire and rescue teams are the embodiment of the generosity of the American people. Their commitment and sacrifice earn immense goodwill toward our Nation.

This bill will help our first responders obtain the overseas travel documentation that they need in a quick and cost-effective way.

For these reasons, it deserves our unanimous support, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I, again, thank the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Chabot) for his expression of support for their overseas activities, and I yield back the balance of my time.
