On the recordFebruary 7, 2012
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today begins the observation of National Marriage Week. It is a week that begins today, February 7, and will go through Valentine's Day, February 14, next week. Around the Nation, in fact, indeed around the world, there are those organizations and individuals who will be conducting events around National Marriage Week. So I think it's all too fitting and proper that we take this hour on the floor of the House of Representatives to recognize the importance of marriage and the importance of homes. Tonight, we will be having a series of speeches that will reflect the importance of marriage and the home, and we will also recognize National Marriage Week. Mr. Speaker, for the first of those speeches, I would like to recognize my friend, my colleague from Mississippi (Mr. Harper).
