I say to the gentleman, Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for, first of all, taking out this special order on behalf of our late friend, Sam Hall, Jr., and also for recognizing me. You can learn, as I said the other day when we passed a bill successfully here in the House naming the Federal Building and Courthouse in Marshall the Sam B. Hall, Jr., Federal Building and Courthouse--as I said then: You learn an awful lot about a person by sitting next to him or her, and it was my fortune on our Judiciary Committee to sit next to Sam Hall for a number of years, most of that time from 1976 to 1985, and in momentary lulls and pauses in the committee deliberations we would talk, and I always was very impressed by Sam as a human being, as a jurist, as a legislator, as a husband of Madeleine and a father of the three daughters, and I really believe that he served the House extremely well. He served the people of east Texas with real nobility.
