my wife, Emilie, and I are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Bill Lehman. I will always remember his good sense of humor, his leadership and his unrivaled sense of duty. He had a reputation of having the courage and conviction to do what was right for his constituents, and his country. Bill was a good friend, and was a political mentor when I first came to Washington. He led a remarkable life; from his service to his community to his strong leadership in Congress. Bill was the Chairman of the Transportation Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee. Many of the transportation facilities in South Florida are a direct result of his tireless efforts as Subcommittee Chairman. Bill will be missed by so many, but has left an extraordinary legacy. His family will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

I want to add another provision there, that over the last 3 years, hourly wages have increased in the United States by 8 percent. So a lot of this stuff we have heard is absolutely false.
