On the recordDecember 7, 2020
I want to report some breaking news. Roll Call has just put something out online, it will be published tomorrow. And the headline is: ``Adulting might be alive and well in Congress. The retiring Lamar Alexander and Greg Walden show it's possible to do your job in public life while acting like a grown-up.'' That is Greg. He got things done. He was an Eagle Scout when he was a youngster, still is a mighty big Ducks fan. You can't walk into his office without seeing the Ducks. He is in a lot better mood on Monday when you see him if the Ducks win. They didn't win the other day. But he has been a really special individual with real care and handling of all the different issues that our committee deals with. A partner in leadership on both sides of the aisle, his word is his bond. His staff has been terrific, all of them: All the subcommittee staff, his personal staff, and obviously, his greatest staff person, Mylene. Mylene and his son, Anthony, we have watched him grow up from when Anthony was a youngster, but Mylene has been a special friend, really, to all of us. She puts up with Greg. Usually, she is on the West Coast while he is over here. Mr. Speaker, he has been a special talent that has been lent to our committee to make this country a better place. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 3 minutes remaining.
