I want to address a ``thank you'' to Mel Gibson and his movie ``The Passion of the Christ.'' I think it is appropriate during this Easter break that we understand that no greater love is this, than one lays down their life for someone else. As we go back to our districts and work and try to address the concerns and problems of our constituents and the Nation, I think it is just appropriate to remember that we are all one family and we need to work together to solve our problems. Mr. Speaker, I wish all my colleagues a happy Easter break.
