And thank you, Secretary, for being here today. I sit before you with immense gratitude and a profound sense of hope for our farmers, especially in deep South Texas. We are indebted to you for not only focusing and visiting our Rio Grande Valley in our deep South Texas, but talking about was that what was the number one issue for us, which was the water deliveries that came from Mexico that they were obligated to give us due to the 1944 Water Treaty. Your tireless effort in putting that at the front of the national stage and situation, sitting in the Oval Office many times with President Trump and being the voice for South Texas farmers who had really lost hope, many of which lost their farms.
