On the recordFebruary 11, 2009

Thank you. But it isn't simply about that substance, but it's also about what it means to serve the people. And sometimes that service comes in small ways, and other times it comes in big ways. And so, already, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Dingell has demonstrated to me that we are here for the public service, and that means to our constituents in Michigan, in Maryland, and across this country. But we can't forget that. And so I thank Mr. Dingell for his longevity and for his knowledge and the breadth and also for teaching me a lesson as a junior Member of this institution about what it means to serve.
