Mr. Speaker, I thank our good friend for his service. Sam Johnson has served this Chamber so nobly during his years on Ways and Means and ends his career in the people's House this term. All of us treasure our time with him, our work together, and his leadership, and we treasure his remarks tonight in honor of his great comrade. And, sir, we salute you and we thank you, and God bless you for all you have done for this great country. With that, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. Denham), who serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Natural Resources. Also, he served this great country in the Air Force for 16 years, fought in Operation Desert Storm in Iraq, Operation Restore Hope in Somalia. We welcome him, and we thank him for his comments tonight.
