On the recordDecember 17, 2024
Madam Speaker, this has all been so moving and so lovely, but if anyone tuned in late tonight in C-SPAN, they probably thought I passed because it really did sound like a eulogy. I am still here, and I will continue to text and call and inform everyone, analyze, as I think Mr. Lucas put it. I am good at analysis. I will still give the benefit of my insight. I thank Mr. Weber for doing this. I didn't expect it. I have got some of my great staff up there in the Gallery who have been watching and hanging on every word. This has been very, very kind. I really don't know what else to say, but I wanted to assure people that I was still here. It has been so moving. People might have thought I had left the building, but Elvis is still in the building.
