Let me just add some accolades. But first of all, I want to commend first my friend and colleague from Illinois, Representative Shimkus, for the tremendous dedication and service and leadership that he has provided to the page program as its chairman. But let me also commend and congratulate all of you for the tremendous service that you have provided. Many of us make use of your skills, make use of your energy, of your legs, your ability to go from one place to the other and bring things, but I am amazed at the number of people that I have met here who are now Members of this body who at one time served as pages. So I suspect that in the future we will see some of you here as Members from the community where you live and perhaps we will even see one of you sitting in the big chair up in the White House. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you so much for your service.
