I thought we could all welcome a little bit of good news; and that is, that one of our colleagues, Kristen Gillibrand, gave birth in the middle of the night to her second son. Mama is doing fine. The son is 7 pounds, 14 ounces; 20 inches long. I think she is the first Member of this House to leave an Armed Services markup to go into labor and deliver a child. I send her good wishes from all of us.
