               FURTHER TRIBUTE TO HON. WILLIAM H. NATCHER

  (Mr. GINGRICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGRICH. Mr. Speaker, let me say first of all that I want to 
thank the Speaker for the way in which he briefed the House and briefed 
the country today. I think it is an important part of this institution 
to remind people how human it is. I think every heart here goes out to 
Chairman Natcher, and I appreciate very much the Speaker's bringing it 
to our attention.
  I just want to say on behalf of Mr. Michel and the Republican 
leadership that we join with what the Speaker said and that we want Mr. 
Natcher to know that across this House and, I think, frankly, this 
land, as people in recent weeks have watched the courage and the 
commitment of Mr. Natcher, that the people are praying for him and care 
about him and that all of us look forward very fondly to the day when 
he can come back and join us. And I thank the Speaker for bringing that 
to our attention.
  (Applause, the Members rising.)
