THANKING SPEAKER HASTERT FOR VISITING THE TEXAS BORDER -- (House of Representatives - July 25, 2006)

(Mr. CARTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)

Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank Speaker DENNY HASTERT for coming to Texas this weekend to look at the situation on the Texas border and bringing a bipartisan delegation with him. The information that he received I think is invaluable for this House.

I am proud of the fact that our Speaker goes out and goes to the areas where the crises are so that he can have a good view of what is going on. He was a great leader there. He was able to get information from these folks that showed that the borders have got to be defended and defended now.

I am grateful for his attendance in Texas, and I am sure Arizona is, also.
