Washington - Chairman Mark Walker released the following statement greeting the 45th Annual March for Life:
"The March for Life is a bittersweet event. On one hand, it commemorates a great atrocity on America's conscience: abortion. On other hand, it is uplifting to see so many young people come out year after year in the bitter cold to fight for the rights of unborn children. On this 45th anniversary of the March for Life, the pro-life community should also be praised for their work the other 364 days of the year in helping all mothers and children."

Washington - Republican Study Committee Chairman Mark Walker released the following statement after passage of the 21st Century Flood Reform Act (H.R. 2874) to reform the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP):
The National Flood Insurance Program is in dire need of reform as the recent $16 billion Congressional bailout confirms. The 21st Century Flood Reform Act takes much-needed steps to get the NFIP on more sound fiscal footing while implementing institutional reforms that allow the private market to compete. I urge Mitch McConnell to take this bill up in the Senate and pass these needed reforms as soon as possible.
