Joe Barton: “Before I introduce Congressman Neugebauer, I have already put one statement in the Record that Ralph wanted me to read…”

“Before I introduce Congressman Neugebauer, I have already put one statement in the Record that Ralph wanted me to read, but by electronic device, he has sent a second statement. So this is another direct quote from Congressman Hall: ``Although sidelined by a recent accident, I am blessed to be on the mend and hope to express my thanks in person some time next year. It has been a great honor and privilege to represent the good people of the Fourth Congressional District for the past 33 years. I thank them for their vote of confidence over the years, for their wisdom and good ideas, and for inspiring me to represent their views and their vision to the best of my ability.'' With that, I yield to the Congressman representing Lubbock, Texas, where the Ennis Lions will play a high school football game this Friday night, the Honorable Randy Neugebauer. {time} 1545”
