I thank the gentleman for his wonderful words of wisdom and inspiration. A lot of times in the House, we hear politicians say, even throughout our State, that we are doing things for the people. And I guess, to some degree, some of that is okay. But for us to be successful, I think we have to get back to the place that we are doing things with the people. No one embodies that more in the House than past chairman and ranking member of Ways and Means, Mr. Kevin Brady. In taking a moment of personal privilege here, I get a chance to meet lots of figures: lots of politicians, lots of Presidents, kings, and queens throughout this country--and throughout this world, actually-- but few people I have ever met who carried the servant spirit and the servant heart more than our top Republican on Ways and Means. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Brady), proudly representing Texas' Eighth District.
