This is definitely the last time I will be addressing this House. As my colleague, David Price, has indicated, I have been confirmed to a new position as regulator and director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. I just wanted to take a moment to express to my colleagues how much of an honor it has been to be a part of this body, and to grow and learn and share with my colleagues from all across the Nation. It has been a great honor, and I thank all of them for the expressions in the last few days, and I look forward to working with them in the new position that I will be assuming. I thank you. And, of course, we have already acknowledged my wife in the gallery. I thank her. And with that, Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time once and for all. ____________________

It is intolerable to me to think that a mere accusation of impropriety would somehow deny him the presumption of innocence.
