                       IN MEMORY OF GEORGE ROMNEY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. KIM). Under a previous order of the 
House, the gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Chrysler] is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. CHRYSLER. Mr. Speaker, I am here at this late hour to pay my 
respects to George Romney, the former Governor of the State of 
Michigan.
  George Romney served the citizens of Michigan for many years and will 
be sorely missed by us all.
  Katie and I consider ourselves friends of the Romney family, having 
worked many years with them on political and civic issues.
  George Romney's personal philosophy has always been to be bold. That 
is the philosophy by which he lived and the philosophy by which he 
governed the State of Michigan. I think that is the philosophy that 
would fit well with the 104th Congress, and he told me to use it when I 
came here.
  I remember when he used to climb fences to get into union halls to 
get in to talk to working men and women when he ran for Governor, and 
we should all remember the example George Romney set in his life as a 
public servant and as a great person after his time in office. His life 
should serve as an inspiration to us all as we continue to go about the 
work of the people of this country.
  Me deepest sympathies go out to his wife, Lenore, and his entire 
family.
  While George will be missed, we would do well to remember the shining 
example he was and still should remain, and at this moment when we 
adjourn this Congress tonight, a moment of silence in his honor would 
probably, I think, be appropriate.
