On the recordOctober 6, 1998
I listened with interest because we have a chance to come to know people on both sides of the aisle when we come here to the people's House. And the gentlewoman from California often talks about her kin folks in Kearny, Arizona, the area I am pleased and proud to represent. I am also proud of the fact that our friend who is preparing to leave the people's House, Congressman Torres, is from Miami, Arizona in the Cobra Valley. Now as we know, that area is rich in two ways, in copper, so vital to our Nation and the world, but the most precious resource in those areas famous for their wealth in the mines and from the precious metals, the most precious resource of course is the people who live there and who come from a place like the Cobra Valley and from Miami, Arizona. I guess we could say today, Mr. Speaker, that one of our famous exports from Arizona is our colleague, Congressman Torres.
