A BIPARTISAN WIN FOR HOUSTON

Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 184 (Wednesday, December 11, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 184 (Wednesday, December 11, 2024)] [House] [Page H7102] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] A BIPARTISAN WIN FOR HOUSTON (Mr. HUNT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. HUNT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate yet another bipartisan win for the city of Houston this week. Within the WRDA bill the House passed yesterday, there were several important priorities that Congresswoman Fletcher and I spearheaded to ensure another catastrophic flooding event, like Hurricane Harvey, never happens again. Specifically, the Army Corps of Engineers is now statutorily required to finish one of the most important studies facing Texas, the ``Buffalo Bayou and Tributaries Resiliency Study.'' Without the completion of this study, construction of a tunnel underneath our city will never be built to route floodwater away from my friends and neighbors in TX-38 and TX-7 and into the Gulf of Mexico. I personally thank Congresswoman Fletcher and the brilliant staff in the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment for all of their hard work to ensure Houstonians can remain resilient in the face of another disaster. ____________________
