  Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my personal best 
regards and the respect and appreciation of all the members of the 
International Relations Committee on the occasion of the birthday of 
the King of Thailand, King Rama IX.
  Earlier this year, all Members of the House of Representatives were 
relieved when the King made a complete and impressive recovery from 
surgery and regained his full strength.

  As I have said on the floor of the House before, the people of 
Thailand are blessed to have such a wise leader. We, in the United 
States are blessed to be able to call King Bhumibol our friend.
  I am honored, as the spokesman for my colleagues, to wish the King a 
happy birthday and a long reign. I wish him and his family greetings 
and good health from his friends in the United States.
