The Chair would like to mention that the first time I played in the golf tournament I said, Where are the good golfers? And they said, What do you think? As a Congressperson, you have to work down here, and on weekends you have to work at home. There are only about two good golfers, so anybody who hesitates because they think they are not good enough, feel free.

Thank you, Jack, and Madam President, may I just for a moment interrupt. We have one of the finest leaders we have ever had in this body, Congressman Bob Michel. Would you just give us a wave.
The Chair recognizes the distinguished Speaker of the House, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Boehner).
All right. But before I do that, I do want to tell you that the 6 p.m. event, the memorial that many of us have worked hard on, will take place at 6 in Statuary Hall, and we have invited the families of the Members who have passed this…
As I accept this award--and we are not going to read the names of the memorial that we are going to have this afternoon--I think we all ought to just stand for a moment and just say a small prayer for what happened in Orlando. Thank you.
