On the recordOctober 8, 1998
Mr. Speaker, I wish the 7-year-old child of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. McHale) could have heard him this evening. And, indeed, I hope the gentleman will save the Congressional Record that will have ensconced the speech that he just gave, because it was from the bottom of his heart. Mr. Speaker, I would use this opportunity to express my warm feelings and respect for the gentleman from Pennsylvania and for the dedication that he has given to this body, knowing him from his service on the Committee on Science with me and as an individual and as a colleague, and knowing the courage that he has shown and the commitment that he made to our country. So, we wish the gentleman well and thank him very much for what he has done. I think this is a nice commemoration to Paul McHale.
