“I say to the gentleman from New Jersey that that was the easiest request I have had all year. I appreciate hearing the stories of his father and I, of course, offer my condolences to him. It is an honor to be able to hear stories of his father's extraordinary life and service. I thank him, sir. Mr. Speaker, I thank you for this time and opportunity to be able to share more of what we are trying to highlight this week. It is a very important week as is any State of the Union and every State of the Union should be important. Regardless of your party affiliation, this is a moment to hear from our President and to compare and contrast in a lot of cases policy differences, but also highlight where it is that we do agree. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Rose), the current gold medal standard bearer in our competition. I am having a Tennessee heavy day today.”
