                       EXPRESSION OF APPRECIATION

  (Mr. WATTS of Oklahoma asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WATTS of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I am honored and delighted to be 
here this afternoon. Some of you, some of my colleagues, know what I 
have gone through over the last 4 or 5 months, and especially over the 
last 2 weeks, to get here and to make this reality. I appreciate 
Speaker Gingrich working with my office and with me to make this 
reality. I am delighted to be here.
  Mr. Speaker, I do not have a whole lot to say. I have said a lot to 
this point and I have been reading a lot and have been studying a lot, 
and I am looking forward to getting on with the business of this great 
country and the business of the Fourth District of Oklahoma.
  So thank you very much for your patience, for allowing to make this 
swearing in, which is belated, and for allowing me to make this event a 
reality today.
  With that I will close, and again say thank you very much.

                          ____________________
