On the recordDecember 6, 2022
I think you ought to pass the recipe on, so we can keep that tradition going, if nothing else--we won't enter it into the Congressional Record--just the seasoning and rub you put on it the night before. But it is one of those things that helps bring Members together because there are a lot of times where it is easy to get on different sides and people are battling on different issues, but to come together at the end of that, and that is something I will always remember because at the end of those long evenings there would be 50 to 100 Members of Congress in those little offices enjoying that camaraderie. It wasn't just the ribs and the Shiner Bock beer you brought, but it is the camaraderie more than anything. That is one thing we need more of. We are going to have disagreements; we always have since the founding of our great Nation. But to be able to come together at the end of each of those disagreements and remember the bond that joins us, that is much more powerful. Mr. Speaker, I thank my dear friend, Louie Gohmert, for his service here to the United States Congress.
