                        A THANK YOU TO THE STAFF

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, I am proud today because 1 month ago I was 
sworn into the House of Representatives with 434 other American 
citizens.
  I want to take a moment, though, to thank the men and women who make 
this process work: The Members' personal staffs, the staff of the 
committees, the members of the Clerk's office and the cloakroom, the 
pages and their families who have allowed them to participate in this 
great democracy.
  These individuals arrive here at the Capitol very early in the 
morning and they leave very late to do the people's business. The 
Members get all the attention from the press and the media. The staff 
gets all the grief.
  This 1 minute is dedicated sincerely and thankfully to those 
individuals who make this process work, those people who work for the 
U.S. Government. Yes, indeed, we are proud and fortunate to have each 
and every one of them working for this country.
