On the recordNovember 13, 2002
Mr. Leader, that I have expressed to you over and over again my dismay that we have only passed two appropriations bills and that we have a tremendous amount of unfinished business before the Congress. However, I will use my remaining time to say that from what you have said, this may be your last or among your last colloquies on the floor of this House; and I would like, as the minority whip, to commend you for your service to the Congress, to wish you well in your future endeavors, and to thank you for your many courtesies.
