I thank Congressman Johnson for that very beautiful tribute. I know one of Ron's greatest gifts was mentoring those who came after him, and I know he certainly appreciated Mr. Johnson's leadership on that Armed Services Committee and talked a lot about the great work that he was engaged in. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), our leader, who knew Ron very well, even before Ron and Nancy served together in Congress. I thank her so much for being here and for paying tribute.
