Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a valued member of the Arizona delegation, John Shadegg. John Shadegg is ending his service to this institution after 16 years. John came here in 1994 and has served the State of Arizona extremely well during that time. He has promoted the principles of limited government, economic freedom and individual responsibility, and has stayed true to his principles and been a valued member of the Arizona delegation. Arizona has a habit of producing great legislators, including Barry Goldwater, Mo Udall, Carl Hayden, and others; and John now adds his name to that list of great Arizona legislators. I just want to pay tribute to him and tell him how much the Arizona delegation and all of us will miss his steady, constant, principled leadership here in the House of Representatives. Well done, John. Well done, John Shadegg. ____________________
