           WELCOMING GREATER HOUSTON LGBT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

  (Mrs. FLETCHER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. FLETCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to welcome the Greater Houston 
LGBT Chamber of Commerce on their first trip to Washington.
  I am so proud to represent so many thriving LGBTQ+ and allied 
businesses in my district and in the Greater Houston area.
  This week, Chamber representatives are in Washington to advance 
policies that foster economic inclusion and equality for the LGBTQ+ 
business community. I want them to know how welcome they are here in 
Washington, in the U.S. Congress, the people's House. I want to 
recognize them for being here, for their efforts and engagement, and 
for being great partners and leaders.
  The Greater Houston LGBT Chamber of Commerce brings the best of our 
diverse, dynamic, and inclusive community to Washington this week, and 
I could not be more proud to represent them or to welcome them here to 
the people's House.
