  IN TRIBUTE TO THE HONORABLE TIM VALENTINE, THE HONORABLE STEPHEN L. 
                NEAL, AND THE HONORABLE J. ALEX McMILLAN

  (Mr. LANCASTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANCASTER. Mr. Speaker, when this House adjourns sine die in 
November, three very special friends and colleagues from North Carolina 
will return home for a well-deserved retirement: Congressman Tim 
Valentine, Congressman Stephen Neal, and Congressman Alex McMillan.
  Each of these very special Members has brought extraordinary talents 
and made unique contributions to this body.
  Tim Valentine is a man of great humor and common sense and his 
expertise in transportation and scientific research issues has served 
his district well, since he represents one of the fastest growing areas 
of North Carolina and the very valuable Research Triangle Park area 
where much of the research in our state is conducted.
  Steve Neal has been a steady and competent member of the Committee on 
Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs and has developed recognized 
expertise in those very complex banking issues which have been so 
important and which have experienced so much progress in this session 
of the Congress.
  Alex McMillan  has brought to the Congress great knowledge and 
experience in business to our deliberations and has been a leader as we 
have addressed subjects of economic prosperity and fiscal 
responsibility, the latter being a particular interest of his in his 
capacity as a senior member of the Committee on the Budget.
  I commend these three gentlemen on their very fine service to this 
institution and wish them God's speed and His blessing as they begin 
their retirement.
