                        Friday, January 15, 2021

  Mr. ROY. Madam Speaker, today, I want to pay tribute to the members 
of the Customs and Border Protection who keep our nation safe, and in 
particular, their leader for the last 18 months, Commissioner Mark 
Morgan.
  As a Texan, I have spent countless hours with the courageous men and 
women of the Border Patrol who have confronted often insurmountable 
odds on a southwest border forsaken by Washington politicians and left 
to be operationally controlled by dangerous Mexican cartels.
  Mark has been an extraordinary leader of CBP--fearlessly standing up 
against those cartels, condemning reckless open border policies, 
guarding the American people from the various threats posed by China, 
and relentlessly fighting to defend our national security and with the 
patriotism and dedication appropriate for a career law enforcement 
officer.
  America is a safer, stronger, and better country because of his 
service, and I am honored to call him a friend.
