On the recordDecember 20, 2017
I want to thank the Democratic whip for his kind words and for the way that our offices do work together on those occasions. Frankly, it is most occasions where we are working together on things. Obviously, there are times when we are not; but even in those times, our staffs have a great working relationship and a trust level that is really important to the House getting its business done. Mr. Speaker, I thank the Democratic leader. Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
