RECOGNIZING LEW COHEN AND MAGNES GLENN
(Mr. SESSIONS asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, one month ago, the entire State of Texas
was blanketed with a polar vortex that plunged temperatures to single
digits for over 120 hours. Six inches of ice, combined with nine inches
of snow, were common as far south as San Antonio, Texas. Within a day,
all 254 counties in Texas were under a State and Federal emergency
declaration.
Madam Speaker, I rise today to give thanks to heroes who heard and
saw this crisis and did something about it.
Two heroes--Chairman Lew Cohen, and his partner, Magnes Glenn, from
Hawaiian Springs Water--sprung into action. A simple call as a result
of our friendship resulted in over 8,000 water bottles being shipped to
Leon County, Texas; and 8,500 bottles of water being shipped to
Freestone County, Texas.
Help they were. Thank you to so many who were just like these two
heroes who helped Texas in her time of need.
