On the recordJuly 31, 1998
It is entirely appropriate that at the time that the Chestnut family is, in fact, remembering their father and husband and friend and relative, that we establish this fund. At this time I would also like to thank the gentleman from Maryland for the courtesies and cooperation that he exhibited; indeed, all of the Members of this House, in terms of the level of intensity of their response to an extremely tragic and unfortunate situation. In all likelihood, this will be the last resolution on this particular subject to come before the House, and I did want to indicate that the House is an institution and each individual in it, I believe, can be extremely proud of the way in which the Capitol community responded to such a tragic incident affecting two of its own.
