   WELCOME TO WASHINGTON'S NEWEST REPUBLICAN, WILLIAM HANNA BOGER IV

  (Mr. CRAPO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CRAPO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome to Washington the 
Nation's newest Republican, William Hanna Boger IV. William was born 
Tuesday, March 26 at 8:24 a.m., was 20 inches long and weighed 7 
pounds, 7 ounces.
  His proud parents are my executive assistant, Dorothy S. Boger of 
Morrow, LA and her husband William, of Columbus, OH, partner at the law 
firm of Wilkinson, Barker, Knauer and Quinn and a former staffer of my 
good friend Bob Livingston.
  Although he was immediately registered as a Republican for the 2014 
elections his parents extend their thanks to their friends on both 
sides of the aisle for the many expressions of support they received 
over the last few days.
  Congratulations, Dorothy, Bill, and little Billy.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. CRAPO. I yield to the gentleman from Maryland.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, would the child like some counseling about 
this registration, before he takes this very serious step?
  Mr. CRAPO. Mr. Speaker, I would tell the gentleman, I would offer 
that to his parents, but I will tell him, I think I am in a good 
position, and I will provide that counseling, if he does not mind.
  Mr. HOYER. Congratulations to the family.
