I thank the sheriff for his service and that passion. It is appropriate tonight, of course. Mr. Speaker, I yield next to the gentleman from Kansas' big First District. The district, I think, has 63 counties. It is one of the largest in the country. He has got a lot of work to do. And they know him well because he also happened to have been the 50th Lieutenant Governor of the State of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Mann).
