We are here tonight to honor our colleague, Walter B. Jones. Madam Speaker, I want to thank Congressman Price for the effort he has put in to making this evening a time for us to honor Walter, our esteemed colleague. Madam Speaker, Walter Jones will always be remembered for his dedication to North Carolina's Third District and his steadfast support for all of our Nation's men and women in uniform. I know that many of the speakers will talk much more about that this evening, as will I. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Price), for his comments. Then, Madam Speaker, we will be recognizing our colleagues from both sides of the aisle, which is extremely appropriate, particularly in the case of Congressman Jones.
