On the recordFebruary 12, 2002
I was a personal friend of Bob Davis while he was a Member of the House. We participated in sports activities as well as cosponsored legislation here on the floor of the House. There was no finer Representative from the State of Michigan than Bob Davis. He was an outstanding Member. He really cared about his constituents, and he worked very, very hard. He continues to work hard here in Washington, D.C., advising Members of Congress about legislation that he has an interest in. So if Bob Davis is watching, we are glad to do this today. We are very happy to name this post office after you. I hope all the people of his district appreciate the work you have put forth on their behalf.
