I thank Leader Pelosi for those remarks. Let me just say one thing to Ms. Pelosi in terms of Ron's sensitivity and an example of his humanness. He was so happy she reached out to him during his last few days on this Earth. I was with him, and after he spoke with Ms. Pelosi, he had tears in his eyes. He talked about how much he missed her and how much he loved her. He was so grateful that she gave him that call, so I thank her very much. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Clay). Congressman Lacy Clay, of course, is the son of a great hero, Congressman Bill Clay, with whom Ron served. Also, he was so proud of Lacy, because he knew Congressman Clay as a teenager. He may want to share some of his stories about that period of time also.
