On the recordDecember 8, 2016
I just want to stand here in front of this House and this body to honor our Senator, Dan Coats, who served Indiana in so many different capacities. I actually have the privilege of representing his district, the Third District in northeast Indiana. We have such a long line of great leaders from northeast Indiana who have served here in Washington from our State, and Dan Coats, of course, exemplified a man of character, humbleness, and leadership. He followed former Vice President Dan Quayle. I also would like to recognize him as well. He is another man who showed leadership for our State here in Washington, D.C. Both of those gentlemen have been heroes and models for me growing up, watching both of them as they took time to come to Washington and show what Hoosier leadership is all about. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman again for honoring them today.
