“Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Most of us know that we are so honored to be Members of this august body and that whenever we have an election, the winners clearly are Members of the Congress, the Constitution, and our great country. We from New York have the special history of not being partisan and working together for our districts, our communities, our country. Peter King has been here long enough to remember the days when adversaries could also be friends. On behalf of the Congress and the New York delegation, we all welcome the Honorable Bob Turner in joining our group. We in the State delegation look forward to working with him. At this time, Mr. Speaker, I yield to my distinguished friend, Peter King, from the great State of New York.”
