Mr. Speaker, whenever anybody leaves an institution, an institution is obviously diminished, a little poorer, especially when it is a good person. Obviously people get replaced through the election process and through the hiring process here, but there is still always a sense of loss when we lose one of our spectacular people. Much has been said about the gentleman from Ohio (Chairman Kasich), and I want to be associated with those remarks, the extraordinary job he has done through the years here today. We acknowledge that. I know in the general debate, he is going to have the great opportunity to display his brilliance, and we are going to have the opportunity to further thank him.
