Mr. Speaker, I want to associate myself with those remarks. I would like to say that were it not for the political savvy, acumen, and skill, we may not have had a President by the name of William Jefferson Clinton. Ron did a tremendous job in bringing the Democrat Party forward, working out many of the problems, and as Secretary of Commerce he advanced the interests of the business concerns of the United States of America around the world. He was a leader, he was a fighter, he was tenacious, and he was a kind and gentle person and he cared for people. It is absolutely fitting that we join forces with the gentleman from New York [Mr. Rangel] here today and pass this.
