“Members of the House, and my friend John Lewis, you are correct. His father was my State senator and John Barrow's State senator for 38 years. He was a very well-respected Democrat. We all liked him a lot. But he sure raised his son the right way. We are glad to have him. We all miss and loved Charlie Norwood. You know, in this House, there are creatures of habit. Of course, any time you want to see Mr. Murtha and the Pennsylvania delegation, you go to that corner. Any time you want to see Mr. Young and anybody who wants something out of him from Appropriations, all the Florida Members, you go over to that corner. I think, in Charlie's memory, we will all begin to think that the Georgia delegation will be sitting there. Paul, we are going to be very happy to have you sitting amongst us. Paul, John Barrow and I went to the same junior high school. We are very proud to boast about that. He is an avid fly-fisherman. He is a sportsman. He did volunteer work for Safari-International and worked with many of you, got to know Ron Marlene very well and Jo Ann Emerson, among others, and he is ready to go on any codel to Montana or Wyoming that he gets invited to. Paul is going to be a great Member of the House. He is a hard worker. I think you will like him on both sides of the aisle because he will work for what is best for the United States of America.”
