Hurricane Laura Recovery in Louisiana

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, my colleagues in Congress should provide, as I was saying, every necessary Federal resource. We must do everything in our power to ensure that southwest Louisiana is not forgotten as we work through the long and difficult recovery.

I have seen firsthand the best of Louisiana, neighbors helping neighbors, communities coming together to rebuild and recover.

It is what Louisiana does. We stand back up. Our people are resilient. We will rebuild.

Louisiana, stand strong. You are not alone. You are loved. You are respected. You will never be forgotten. We stand with you as one through this recovery.
