“I have some exciting news to share with my colleagues, and I think in a spirit of bipartisanship, we can all agree that this is, in fact, good news, because today the youngest Member of the House of Representatives, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Putnam) and his wife Melissa became the proud parents of a baby girl. Mr. Speaker, today Abigail Anna Putnam was born. She weighed 8 pounds and 4 ounces. She is 21 rac{1}{2} inches long, and they are still looking for the first sighting of that fire-engine red hair that the gentleman carries around with him here. Just as a word of history, I want my colleagues to know, first of all, that the mother and the daughter are doing well. The gentleman from Florida is a little shaky, but I think he is going to make it. Abigail is the sixth generation Putnam to be born in Polk County, Florida, and her great grandfather, who is 92 years old, is so excited that he said he is probably more excited about the gentleman from Florida becoming a father than he was when the gentleman got elected to Congress. I know that all my colleagues want to join with me in wishing the gentleman from Florida and his wife Melissa and their new baby Abigail a wonderful life together.”
