On the recordJune 30, 1999
My compliments and gratitude to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cardin) and the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer) and the gentlewoman from Maryland (Mrs. Morella) for their effort in moving this legislation through and for taking the time to come down to the House floor this afternoon and saying the words that they have spoken. It is greatly appreciated. I also want to make a comment about our counterparts on the Senate side, and I know we are not supposed to mention the senators, but the effort they are making on that side to move this legislation through there, as well. The last comment I would like to make is that I would invite my colleagues, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cardin), the gentlewoman from Maryland (Mrs. Morella) and the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), that when the trail is finally done that the four of us stand at Ft. McHenry and sing for our constituents the Star-Spangled Banner.
