On the recordNovember 14, 2016
I thank Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman. Mr. Speaker, it is indeed my honor to yield to my coanchor, my classmate, my friend, the Congressman from the Eighth Congressional District of New York. I wanted to pause for a moment and think about what I would say as he will come as the coanchor, an individual who serves in this Congress, one of Congress' best orators. When I think about him, I thought I would introduce him this way, Mr. Speaker: He is brave and brilliant. He is strong and strategic. He is always prepared and persistent. I yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Jeffries), my coanchor.
