“I rise also to support H. Res. 1087. I join my colleagues, Mr. Speaker, in recognizing the distinguished service of our retiring colleague, Mr. Hyde of Illinois. It has been a privilege to serve with him in this body. He has established himself as an effective and dedicated public servant over the course of nearly 40 years in public service and 16 terms in Congress. He is a gifted public speaker and one of the House's skilled orators. His leadership as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and the House International Relations Committee has evidenced his skills as a legislator and his commitment to strengthen the principles of our great country, the United States of America. We will miss him, but we will recall the ideals and the principles for which he stands and his graciousness. So, Mr. Speaker, I find it very fitting that we designate a room in the Capitol in his honor. This room will remind us of his work and his service in this institution.”
