I simply want to state that with regard to the recent retreat at Hershey, two things: First, while my colleagues were enjoying a retreat, I was on a work weekend. That was my district, and my schedule called for me to meet a group of tourists from Washington, DC, and so I did my duty. I wanted you to know that I worked hard that weekend making sure that you were hosted well. But the second notation I want to make is that universally with every member of the Hershey staff, waitress, busboy, every single person who worked there and who dealt with the Members of Congress and their families, the mood and the comment was absolutely unanimous to the effect that they were met with courtesy on the part of the Members and their spouses and their children, that everybody was well behaved, that the requests were all met handily. In short, they were glad to have the Members of Congress and their families at the retreat at Hershey.
