“Likewise, you do such good because you are a genuine human being, and I want to thank you for your leadership. And it was a treat and joy to work with you and Chairman Brown on this, along with your staff. I appreciate you also recognizing the staff. Mr. Tucker who is sitting there next to you, when I think of his work, and Mr. Weekly and Ms. Dunn, but also that of Jim Lariviere, Jim who now has been activated as a colonel in the Marine Corps in Afghanistan, Kelly Craven and Jim Holley who is also here on the floor for their hard work. But I also want to pause and, if I might, this is a pretty large bill and we have had to work with a lot of different Members. So if I might, I would like to thank, in particular, Mr. Michaud for your work. I want to thank Mr. Evans for his bipartisanship and his good work and his leadership. I also want to thank Chairman Brown for his work on the Charleston project, Mr. Fortuno for his work in Puerto Rico, Ms. Berkley in Las Vegas, Mr. Beauprez in Denver, Mr. Baker for New Orleans. And we got a full court press when it came to Orlando. We had leadership of Mr. Stearns, Mr. Feeney, Ms. Brown, Chairman Miller, Mr. Keller, Chairman Bilirakis, and Ms. Ginny Brown-Waite. So we got the full court press when it came to Orlando; we got the message. And it was just a real treat in working with all of them, and I thank the gentleman for recognizing them.”
