On the recordFebruary 23, 1999
I just want to add one personal thought. Bob and I have been friends for a long time. We contested each other politically. We have been on different sides of the fence occasionally. At the end of the day, we have always been friends. And that has been the hallmark of his career. He leaves so many friends here. Bob, Louisiana will miss you. Louisiana will miss your service. Louisiana will miss your caring, concern for her, for all of her people. And my colleagues in Louisiana and across this body will miss you for the good man that you are. Mr. Speaker, with great thanks and appreciation to the gentleman from Louisiana (Bob Livingston), who I will now replace as dean of the Louisiana delegation, I yield back the balance of my time.
