          IN SUPPORT OF THE NIAGARA FALLS AIR RESERVE STATION

  (Mr. HIGGINS of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the $2.8 
million included in the National Defense Authorization Act for the 
Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station.
  This funding will support construction of a new combined operations 
and alert facility at the base. The project is important to the 914th 
Air Refueling Wing and national readiness.
  A strong and efficient 914th is good for the country and for western 
New York. The air reserve station is Niagara County's largest employer, 
generating $300 million in economic impact on the local economy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to support this funding and enhance 
mission response.
