On the recordJuly 15, 1998

I do not mean to take much of the gentleman's time, but I was away at that hanging as well, and I must say, at the Library of Congress they had this wonderful ceremony where both the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Jim Sensenbrenner) and the chairman, the gentleman from California (Mr. George Brown) were being honored with their portraits being presented to a cross-section of family and friends as a reflection of years and years of dedicated work on both their parts, but especially my colleague, the gentleman from California (Mr. George Brown). And I know he wanted to be here. I say to the gentleman from California (Mr. Brown), he should be the first to know that we have taken out of the bill those few little items he was concerned about, so he can be as enthusiastic as he likes.
