                 BEST WISHES TO DEPARTING HOUSE MEMBERS

  (Mr. BURTON of Indiana asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I would like to talk to my 
Democrat colleagues that are going to be leaving the House of 
Representatives after today as well as some of my Republican 
colleagues. We have had a lot of differences of opinion over the years. 
Some of them have been very acriminious, the debates that have taken 
place. But I want you to know as one Member of the now new majority 
that even though we have had our differences, we have had strong 
differences, I respect each and every one of you. I wish you the very 
best in the future. You have served your country well, even though we 
have had our differences, and God bless you for taking the time, the 
effort and all the pain that goes with this job. Most people out in 
America see what we do but they do not understand the pain and the hard 
work that goes with this job. I want to say to those of you who are 
leaving, we appreciate what you have done, and we wish you the best of 
the future.
  God bless you and God bless your families.
