    CONGRATULATIONS TO HON. BILL REDMOND ON HIS ELECTION TO CONGRESS

  (Mr. SKEEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SKEEN. Mr. Speaker, the vote is in and the people have spoken in 
New Mexico's Third Congressional District, and they are sending another 
Republican to Congress. I would like to congratulate the gentleman from 
Los Alamos, NM, Bill Redmond, for winning New Mexico's special election 
held yesterday in northern New Mexico.
  Mr. Redmond will be an excellent Member of the House of 
Representatives and will support many of the principles our majority 
party stands for: lower taxes, a balanced Federal budget, a strong 
national defense, family values and a get-tough attitude on crime.
  Mr. Redmond won his election by being honest with the people about 
his views and concerns on the important issues facing New Mexicans and 
all Americans. Bill Redmond, we look forward to working with you 
throughout the remainder of the 105th Congress. Congratulations and 
thanks to all of the Republicans that helped make this come about.
