Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from California for his personal memories and tribute to Senator McCain. It is a pleasure now for me to yield to my friend from Florida (Mr. Diaz-Balart). Senator McCain, throughout his life, was such a great voice for our Bill of Rights, for liberty across the world, for the fight against communism during the Cold War, and for the fight for trade and leadership by the American people and our great country around the world. I think the same of my friend, Mario Diaz-Balart from Florida, who with his friend Jim Costa helps lead our parliamentary dialogue between the Transatlantic Economic Council in the EU and the United States. I thank my friend, also a member of the Ways and Means Committee, for coming tonight and sharing his thoughts on Senator McCain.
