I want to thank Congressman Price for his very kind comments and associate myself with them. I want to welcome our new Members, and I want to thank all of the Members here in advance for helping them feel welcomed to this wonderful body and for helping them get adjusted in a hurry to their work here. Former Speaker Boehner always said that the North Carolina delegation punched above its weight. I want to say that, with the addition of these two wonderful Members, we are going to continue that tradition of punching above our weight and bring to the people's House a wealth of experience and a commitment to helping all of the people of the United States of America. So I want to welcome, again, Representative Bishop and Representative Murphy to the people's House and say: God bless you, and may God continue to bless all of us.
