1. “{time} 1245 Honoring LaGrange College Panthers on Their Victory in the Clash of Highway 29 Mr. JACK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the LaGrange College Panthers for their second consecutive victory in the Clash of Highway 29. Last year, I stood on the House floor to recognize the inaugural Clash of Highway 29, which features two colleges separated by less than 20 miles in Georgia's Third Congressional District. This year, the LaGrange College Panthers, led by Coach Wes Dodson, again defeated the Point University Skyhawks 31-7. LaGrange set the pace early, as quarterback Henry Brodnax, an alumnus of Trinity Christian School in Sharpsburg, threw two first-quarter touchdown passes.”

4. “Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the fifth annual Tunnel to Towers William ``Billy'' Kelly Memorial Golf Classic held this morning in Peachtree City, Georgia, in remembrance of the Americans who lost their lives from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Two years ago, I was honored to attend this charity tournament alongside my dear friend, Nancy Holland, a beloved leader in our community. Nancy introduced me to Robyn Walensky, a former news reporter and survivor of September 11, who founded this tournament with her husband, Greg, in memory of retired NYPD Officer William ``Billy'' Kelly.

10. “My bill preserves agency flexibility by keeping participation optional. My bill requires agencies to report to Congress on the savings achieved, ensuring continuing accountability to Congress and the American taxpayer. For Federal employees, this means a simpler and more predictable relocation process. For Federal agencies, it means fewer administrative burdens and a more efficient use of administrative resources. For American taxpayers, it means an estimated $300 million to $500 million in annual savings. I thank our chairman, Representative James Comer, for his leadership in advancing commonsense government reforms. I thank my colleague Representative Burlison, who has distinguished himself as one of the greatest defenders of liberty in Congress.”

11. “Fortunately, Madam Speaker, there is a better way. Federal agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, have participated in pilot programs that provide employees with a single, upfront, lump-sum relocation payment instead of requiring reimbursement for each individual expense. When given the option, Federal employees have overwhelmingly chosen this streamlined approach. For instance, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported nearly $1 million in administrative savings. The GSA estimates expanding this authority across the Federal Government could save taxpayers between $300 million and $500 million annually. Madam Speaker, that is the purpose of my legislation, H.R. 6330. My bill makes this successful authority permanent and available to every Federal agency.”

12. “Madam Speaker, I thank Representative Burlison for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my bill, H.R. 6330, the Federal Relocation Payment Improvement Act. I am grateful for the overwhelming bipartisan support this legislation received in committee, and I am grateful for the opportunity to present it before the House of Representatives for consideration today. Madam Speaker, our Republican majority was elected on a promise to make the Federal Government more efficient, reduce bureaucracy, and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. My bill fulfills that pledge by streamlining the Federal employee relocation process, reducing administrative burdens, lowering costs for American taxpayers, and modernizing an outdated system. To understand why this reform is necessary, let us review how the current process operates.”
