Jerry Nadler: “I want to join in the tribute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gekas) tonight. The gentleman from Pennsylvania…”

On the recordNovember 14, 2002
I want to join in the tribute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gekas) tonight. The gentleman from Pennsylvania served for 4 years as chairman of the Subcommittee on Administrative and Commercial Law; I served for those 4 years as the ranking Democratic member. Though we often disagreed and obviously we disagreed on the bill we just passed, I must comment that the gentleman from Pennsylvania conducted the subcommittee with unfailing promptness and with unfailing courtesy and consideration despite, on some occasions, considerable provocation from me. I want to pay tribute to him on this occasion. We will miss him.
