“As a Christian believer, I begin my remarks today by giving thanks to God, who I believe protected my family and my staff from this unseen menace. In our family, we often say that the safest place in the world is to be in the center of God's will, and we believe that we had his protection. As the Bible says, "It is good for me to be near God, I have made the sovereign Lord my refuge, I will tell of all your deeds," and thus I do so humbly today. To the people we serve in Indiana, our message today is simple. They should be confident. My family and my staff are well and show no signs of infection. We have all been treated, as has virtually every individual that came into contact with our office. This incident should not, Mr. Speaker, be cause for alarm but of encouragement.”
