         THANKING SPEAKER HASTERT FOR VISITING THE TEXAS BORDER

  (Mr. CARTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank Speaker Denny Hastert for 
coming to Texas this weekend to look at the situation on the Texas 
border and bringing a bipartisan delegation with him. The information 
that he received I think is invaluable for this House.
  I am proud of the fact that our Speaker goes out and goes to the 
areas where the crises are so that he can have a good view of what is 
going on. He was a great leader there. He was able to get information 
from these folks that showed that the borders have got to be defended 
and defended now.
  I am grateful for his attendance in Texas, and I am sure Arizona is, 
also.
