Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of Jefferson County Sheriff's Officer Deputy James Lee, who tragically passed away on July 9, leaving behind a legacy of service to Jefferson County. Deputy Lee was a marine who started with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office in 1973 and was 71 years old when he passed away. He was known as someone who enjoyed going to work to protect his community, who was tough but always showed compassion. He leaves behind a wife and son, who will follow in his father's footsteps at the sheriff's office. Though he may be gone, I know that Deputy Lee is still watching over his beloved community and family. Please join me in recognizing the extraordinary life and service of Deputy James Lee. Honoring Pat Hallisey

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the retirement of a local leader and dedicated public servant who I am proud to call a friend, the outgoing mayor of League City, Texas, the Honorable Pat Hallisey. Throughout his 6 years as mayor, Pat's dedication to League City was clear. He maintained a community with high standards of safety, health, and prosperity. He left League City better than he found it. As mayor, Pat led the city through recovery efforts stemming from the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey. And I am proud to have worked with him over the years to revitalize Galveston County's largest city. On behalf of a grateful community, it is my privilege to honor Mayor Pat Hallisey and his beautiful wife, Janice. Along with her and his family, friends, and colleagues, I want to extend absolute best wishes to Mayor Pat Hallisey in his retirement. Honoring Judge Mike Nelson

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the service of the Honorable Michael Nelson, or as his friends and family call him, Mike. He has dedicated his life to serving the people of Galveston County. Judge Mike was born on June 17, 1949, in Gould, Arkansas. At 18, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, served three tours in Vietnam, and retired from service in 1976. He is married to the former Carol Rotenberry of Santa Fe, Texas, where they raised their four daughters: Sarah Jane, Peyton, Heather, and Michaelia; and four sons: Doug, Michael John, Michael Jr., and Curtis. Mr. Nelson served as a justice of the peace and a municipal court judge since 1986 in Galveston County. A true testament to his character, in 2017, he was awarded the Man of the Year from the Chamber of Commerce of Hitchcock. Mike is a man of purpose, honor, and unwavering determination for the betterment of our community. He has left a positive impact on that very same community. Judge Mike is a beloved member of his community and a fearless advocate for his constituents, whom he cares for deeply. He always had an open-door policy for any constituent who wished to meet with him. His accomplished record and willingness to serve are evident in his over 35 years of public service. On behalf of Texas' 14th Congressional District, Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize his exceptional leadership and his example as a true public servant. I thank Mike for being an incredible leader. He will be remembered for generations to come. He is a man of his word, he is intelligent, he is disciplined, and he treats people with respect. It is an absolute honor to know him. Celebrating the Life of Bill Neild

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of Bill Neild or, as described by a lifelong friend, the John Wayne of Beaumont, Texas. He passed away at age 85 on August 24, 2022, leaving behind a community of friends and family and a legacy of hard work, sacrifice, and service. Bill was an extraordinary community leader and had a true servant's heart. He served 4 years as the mayor of Beaumont. He was chairman of the board of the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce. He was a member of the Board of Directors of First City Bank, and he served as chairman for many organizations in the city. He was a man of integrity, and his passion and service to the community was felt, and will continue to be felt, far and wide. I take this time to honor the life of service exemplified by Mayor Neild. I thank him and his family for their dedication to our fellow citizens on behalf of a very, very grateful 14th District of Texas.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of one Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Deputy James Lee, who tragically passed away on July 9, leaving behind a legacy of service to Jefferson County. Deputy Lee was a former marine. Maybe I should say is a marine because once a marine, always a marine. Deputy Lee was one who started with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office in 1973 and was 71 years old when he passed. He was known as someone who enjoyed going to work to protect his community and who was tough but always showed compassion. He leaves behind a wife and a son, who will follow in his father's footsteps at the sheriff's office. Though he may be gone, I know that Deputy Lee is still watching over his beloved community and family. Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the extraordinary life and service of one Deputy James Lee. He will be missed.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I thank Judge Gohmert for yielding, my friend from northeast Texas. We are going to miss him. He has had quite a distinguished career both before he got into Congress and then when he got demoted to Congress. We appreciate him. I just can't tell you how much we really appreciate him. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of country music legend Mickey Gilley. Mickey Gilley passed away Saturday, May 7, in Branson at the age of 86. Born on March 9, 1936, Gilley was a native of Natchez, Mississippi, where he grew up around his two famous cousins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggart. In his career, Gilley earned 39 top 10 hits and 17 number one songs. With six Academy of Country Music Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and as a member of the 2011 Texas Country Music Hall of Fame, Gilley was also one of only a few artists who have also received the Academy of Country Music's Triple Crown Award. But it was the opening of the country dance club bearing his name that changed the world of country music forever. It was 1971 when Mickey officially opened the doors of his famous honkytonk. Gilley's reputation grew so much that Hollywood even took notice of the hit movie ``Urban Cowboy,'' where he even made an appearance alongside none other than John Travolta, Debra Winger, and Johnny Lee. Inspired by the real-life romance of a pair of the club's patrons, ``Urban Cowboy'' put Gilley's on the map, revived music careers, launched others, introduced two-stepping to a whole new audience, and created a lifestyle that has been adopted by millions. Following his role in ``Urban Cowboy,'' Gilley found himself performing in main showrooms in places like Las Vegas, Reno, Tahoe, and Atlantic City, and even traveling to Europe to perform. Gilley even performed for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Over the decades, Gilley appeared in a number of popular television series, including ``The Fall Guy,'' ``Fantasy Island,'' ``The Dukes of Hazzard,'' ``Murder, She Wrote,'' and ``CHiPs.'' Not only will Mickey Gilley's music live on in the hearts of so many who loved his music, but his cultural influence cannot be overstated. ``Urban Cowboy'' became an American phenomenon, and it was influenced by the real-life stories of Gilley's patrons, Dew Westbrook and Betty Helmer. ``Urban Cowboy'' told the story of a west Texas farmhand who was new to the area and working his first job at a refinery. This film introduced country dance to America and created a lifestyle that has been adopted by millions. Even more surprisingly, it directly resulted in the most unlikely outcome of all: Country-and-western music became mainstream. Once considered outdated hillbilly attire, cowboy hats and belt buckles became high fashion. On Saturday, January 29, Mickey came to the Galveston Regional Chamber of Commerce's celebration, ``The 50th Anniversary of Gilley's and the 42nd Anniversary of `Urban Cowboy.''' It was a great celebration with thousands, and Mickey actually sang for us, to the delight of the crowd. We even presented him with a copy of the tribute that I had done to him right here on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives and a plaque commemorating that event. Mickey Gilley will be missed, but his legacy will live on not only in the hearts and minds of those who loved his music but also in America's love of country-and-western music, Wrangler jeans, cowboy boots, and, yes, pickup trucks. He has even been featured in the very popular Texas Hot Country Magazine. I know the publisher well, Leon Beck, a great guy. Gilley was preceded in his death by his wife Vivian, who passed in 2019. He is survived by his wife now, Cindy Loeb Gilley; his children, Kathy, Michael, Gregory, and Keith Ray; his four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren; and his cousins, Jerry Lee Lewis and, I believe, Jimmy Swaggart, although someone told me recently he might have passed already. My deepest sympathies go out to his family. Mr. Speaker, I thank Mickey Gilley for introducing our way of life to the world. He will forever be a legend.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Madam Speaker, it is a privilege to be here. This is a somber time. Yes, the Senate has sent us something over again that we never got to really look into before we have to vote in the House. Madam Speaker, I actually have a bill, H.R. 7909, that I think you all would be interested if I had gotten to speak to it in the Committee on Rules this morning. It does three things: It says to our law enforcement retired professionals if they want to get a part-time job as an armed resource officer with the school district, they don't have to pay Social Security, withholding taxes, FICA--none of that--that is so they don't get thrown into a higher income tax bracket. The second thing it does, is it allows schools to hire an absolute professional, a retired law enforcement professional at a reduced rate, because they don't have to match Social Security, withholding, and FICA. But third and most importantly what it does, is it gives the students and the teachers and the staff of that facility, first-class armed protection in that school system and in that school district so that when and if this happens, they have got a professional there. May 18, 2018. It was a Friday; 10 people were killed in Santa Fe High School, in my district. John Barns, a police officer, an unarmed police officer was there within 3 minutes. He came around to confront the gunman, and the gunman pretty much eviscerated his right arm with a shotgun. Other police officers showed up quickly. Madam Speaker, we can do this with help to the school districts. We can get armed professional police officers there to help protect our schools, the kids, teachers, and the staff. It doesn't have to be about violating the Second Amendment. It doesn't have to be about taking away gun rights. This is one simple thing. Madam Speaker, I would urge my colleagues to look at that bill, see if they are interested in it because it is one way we can help.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, maintaining and improving our ports, waterways, and water infrastructure is critically important to the 14th District of Texas, as well as to our great State and Nation. Our families, our businesses, and the critical infrastructure along the upper Texas Gulf Coast will benefit from WRDA 2022. Of particular importance to Texas, and the Nation, quite frankly, is a coastal spine. I have heard it several ways. It will mitigate the impact of major hurricanes and other significant water events in and around Galveston Bay, just south of the Houston Ship Channel, and all the families and the vast petrochemical industry that surrounds it. In September 2008, Texas 14 was slammed by Hurricane Ike along a track similar to the deadly 1900 Storm of Galveston that cost 5,000 to 8,000 lives and billions of dollars in damage. The damage from Ike, and the even more catastrophic Hurricane Harvey, could have been reduced significantly by the proposed coastal barrier that we call the Ike Dike. After years and years of pushing for this vital barrier system, I am proud that it is included in WRDA 2022. While this bill does not reflect all the priorities we might prefer, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this bill. I, too, add my order of thanks to both sides. This has been a great task, a great staff we have.

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I have one more notable who has passed in our great district, so will also commemorate him. I rise today to mourn the loss of our great Galveston County Precinct 4 Commissioner, Ken Clark. He was Galveston County's longest-serving elected official. Ken had become a commissioner in 1998, and he has been an active member of our community for even longer. Ken has been an instrumental community leader for several decades and a dedicated public servant. In his time, he has served on the State Republican Executive Committee, he has served as Sergeant at Arms of the Republican Party of Texas, he has served as Galveston's Municipal Utility District president, and received the Republican Party's Volunteer of the Year award. Ken also worked extensively with a wide variety of community organizations and tirelessly worked to improve the lives of those who lived in Galveston County. I first met Ken when he worked on former Congressman Steve Stockman's campaign. Ken was a go-getter, a great conservative, and a great Republican back then and even more so now. Ken was a devoted public servant, a husband, a father, and a mentor. He loved Jesus Christ, and it showed. Commissioner Clark, you will be sorely missed, but we will see you again. In the meantime, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your wonderful wife, Sherry, and y'all's seven children.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to call up H.R. 471, the PAUSE Act, to protect all Americans from Biden's border crisis.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate Mr. Chris Delesandri on his retirement after a dedicated 41 years of service with United Way of Galveston County Mainland, where he served as the executive director for the past 10 years. Not only did Chris serve Galveston County during his time with United Way, but Chris has also served as the president of the Rotary Club of Texas City. He was elected to the Roll of Fame for Rotary District 5910 and earned the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards volunteer. Chris always prioritized giving back to his community, and as such, he has earned several awards through the Chamber of Commerce, such as Citizen of the Year in 2008 and the Leslie Hayley Community Service Award in 2014. I commend Chris for his numerous accomplishments and his dedicated service to our district and congratulate him on his retirement. I am so glad to represent him and call him a friend. He deserves a great retirement. Have a good one, buddy.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further consideration of H.R. 3697 is postponed.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of the First Lady of Bee Cave, Texas, and former First Lady of La Marque, Texas, Patricia Ann LeMay Hocking. Patti, as she was affectionately known, was a fascinating woman with a colorful background. From an early age, Patti loved ballet. Patti took ballet lessons with the Houston Ballet Foundation. Patti worked hard in pursuit of that goal, and eventually, she danced professionally with the Houston Ballet Company. Patti graduated from Incarnate Word Academy in downtown Houston, married Mr. Robert Ellis Hocking--Bobby Hocking--and they settled in Bee Cave, Texas, where she built, owned, and ran her first of two dance studios. After Bee Cave was incorporated in 1987, Bobby Hocking was elected the town's very first mayor. Patti was always by his side as his biggest fan and supporter. They traveled together internationally when Bobby was lead singer in many bands, then as a gospel singer and evangelist. It was Patti's prayers and influence that brought Bobby back to his roots, and they spent many years in the ministry, copastoring churches in Oklahoma and Texas. Most recently, the city of La Marque was the beneficiary of her generous spirit and gift of public service. Patti was devoted to and passionate about her faith, her family, and her community. A gracious, giving, and loving woman, Patti was adored by all who met her. Mr. Speaker, First Lady Hocking will be sorely missed, and I send Bobby our love.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to recognize the life of Officer Christopher Wayne Berry, a member of the Vidor Police Department in Orange County, Texas. Officer Berry was a dedicated public servant and an inspiration to the community that he cherished so dearly. Ever since he was a boy, Chris wanted to be a police officer, Madam Speaker. Not only did he achieve that dream, Chris went on to serve honorably as a keeper of the peace for over 30 years. Those who knew him will tell you that he always treated anyone he met with the utmost respect. He will forever be remembered as a kindhearted community servant who was always willing to lend a helping hand. In addition to being a well-respected member of the Vidor Police force, Chris was also an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, beekeeping, and gardening. Officer Berry is survived by his wife, Brenda, and their three children: Bailey, Brayden, and Amber. He is also survived by his parents, Norman and Loretta Berry, as well as his brothers: Mike, Stephen, and Michael Berry. Madam Speaker, may Officer Chris Berry rest in peace. He will be sorely missed.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, when I testified before the Rules Committee yesterday on behalf of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee Republicans, I expressed my frustration with the process that got us here. At nearly 3,000 pages, H.R. 4521 is a partisan package tossed together by Democratic leadership behind closed doors with no Republican input-- probably the only thing they lacked was the cigar smoke. As I stand before you today, Mr. Speaker, my serious concerns with the America COMPETES Act have only increased. After a back-room process last night, 261 out of the over 600 submitted amendments were made in order, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason why, Mr. Speaker. That is right. This week, we are going to consider 261 amendments to a 3,000-page bill. Frankly, the sheer number of the amendments reflects what happens when rank and file Members on both sides of the aisle are not given an opportunity to legislate in their respective committees. This is a stark contrast, Mr. Speaker, to the way we do business on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. The fact that there are a dozen bipartisan Science, Space, and Technology Committee bills mixed up in this bag of poison pills only adds to the confusion. On that note, I want to be very clear. Just because this 3,000-page behemoth has bipartisan bills in it does not mean it is a bipartisan bill. Those bipartisan bills were hijacked and misused for political gamesmanship. The plain truth is that the hundreds of unrelated partisan policies that were crammed into this bill ruined any chance of bipartisanship. Mr. Speaker, I am disappointed in this wasted opportunity. We have had shared momentum to take action on China. Instead of voting on this partisan catchall bill with more references to coral reefs than to China, let's focus on what is most important. I don't know, how about strengthening American competitiveness and holding China accountable for its actions? We should get back to prioritizing truly productive legislation--by that, I mean bipartisan--to increase our international competitiveness like H.R. 3593, the DOE Science for the Future Act, which passed the House last summer with 351 votes, I might add. Mr. Speaker, the stakes are higher than ever, and we cannot afford to put our national security and prosperity at risk. Mr. Speaker, it is kind of ironic. The leftists on the other side of the aisle have ignored the Chinese threat for years, and now they have suddenly got religion. It is kind of ironic. Now that I think about it, Mr. Speaker, the America COMPETES Act may actually be a good title as the so-called America COMPETES Act may indeed compete as one of the worst bills ever. For that reason, I urge my colleagues to oppose this legislation.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the 76th Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Representative Dade Phelan of Beaumont, Texas. Speaker Phelan, who is serving his fourth term representing the great District 21, is one of the most conservative Speakers in our State's history and has made it his priority to significantly improve the lives of Texans every single day. As only the fourth Republican to hold the Texas House Speakership since 1871, or 151 years, he has set the bar high for any who might follow in his footsteps. He fought to pass landmark legislation that protects businesses, taxpayers, the unborn, religious freedoms, and our Second Amendment rights. Under his leadership, the Texas House led on criminal justice reform issues, healthcare affordability, police funding, and addressing winter storm Uri's long-term impact on our State. I cannot express how proud we are in Texas 14 to claim Speaker Phelan, his wife Kim, and their four precious boys, Ford, Mack, Hank, and little Luke, as our own. Mr. Speaker, I thank Speaker Phelan for all he does for Texas.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Madam Speaker, tomorrow, January 20, 2022, is a day that will live in infamy and marks 1 year since Joe Biden was sworn in as President. I remember saying: This is the most important election of our lifetime. Unfortunately, I was right. In 1 year--under one-party rule and in just 1 year--it has been one huge, continuing debacle and crisis. We went from energy independence to energy crisis, Madam Speaker; from a rebounding economy to the highest inflation in 40 years; from international peace through strength to increased tensions with our greatest adversaries; and might I add, losing the confidence of our allies. We went, Madam Speaker, from border security to 2 million illegal alien crossings; from the end of the pandemic to the never-ending pandemic, particularly with unconstitutional mandates. What is the cause? One Democrat disaster after another, and Americans are losing faith not only with the performance of the current administration, but also with our governmental agencies: the FBI, the DOJ, and the CDC. You name it. The list is endless. Democrats are showing who they are: Socialists, police defunders, open border advocates, and anti-parents who just want a say in their child's schooling. Is that too much to ask? That is what Democrats are. This is their brand, and that Democrat brand, I might add, is a disaster. We Republicans need to point it out every day in every way. So to my Republican colleagues I say, let's go brand `em.

Mr. WEBER of Texas

Mr. WEBER of Texas. Madam Speaker, on March 29, 1971, in Pasadena, Texas, Mickey Gilley opened a honkytonk bearing his name and changed the world of country music forever. Gilley's reputation grew so much that Hollywood took notice with the hit movie ``Urban Cowboy,'' filmed in and around the Pasadena location. Man, was it a hit. Inspired by the real-life romance of a pair of the club's patrons, ``Urban Cowboy'' put Gilley's on the map, revived music careers, and launched others. It introduced two-stepping to a whole new audience and created a lifestyle which has been adopted by millions. Madam Speaker, 40 years later, America's love of Wrangler jeans, cowboy boots, and pickup trucks underscores that lasting cultural legacy. Although the club is no more, Gilley's is certainly not forgotten. Its memory lives on decades later through music and film, of course, but even, more importantly, through the lives and loves of those who frequented Gilley's. And you always knew when someone had been to Gilley's because they had the bumper sticker to prove it. Thank you to Mickey Gilley for introducing our way of life to the world. Thank you to the Galveston Chamber of Commerce--at 177 years young, Texas' oldest chamber of commerce--for honoring the 50th anniversary of our great southeast Texas true country club and Mr. Mickey Gilley.
