Madam Speaker, one of the few things that deans do around here, aside from using our institutional memory, is to ask unanimous consent that people who are elected in special elections from their State be permitted to take the oath of office. Today it is my great honor and, indeed, a privilege, to ask that Tom Tiffany be able to take the oath of office, and to join the list of fewer than 11,000 people that have been honored by their constituents to serve in this House. Tom spent a lot of his life being a successful small businessman. He was elected to the Wisconsin Assembly in 2008, and 2 years later was elected to the first of two terms in the Wisconsin Senate. He has been a very strong and vocal proponent of the interests of people in northern and western Wisconsin, and he will continue to do so on the national stage. Madam Speaker, it is now my honor to yield to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Tiffany).
