    WELCOME TO NEWEST MEMBER OF CONGRESS, THE HONORABLE BILL REDMOND

  (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, as dean of the New Mexico delegation in the 
House, it is my distinct pleasure and honor to welcome and congratulate 
the newest Member of the House of Representatives, the Honorable Bill 
Redmond of Los Alamos, NM.
  Mr. Redmond won last week's special election to New Mexico's Third 
Congressional District. Mr. Redmond won a most impressive victory in 
getting elected to the House, and many of us watched this race with 
significant interest and were involved in his successful election to 
Congress. I thank each and every one of my colleagues for their efforts 
on Mr. Redmond's behalf.
  I look forward to working with Bill Redmond in Congress on behalf of 
the principles each of us hold dear to our hearts: family values, sound 
and responsible fiscal budget policies, a strong national defense, and 
a vibrant economic and business economy.
  Welcome to the Congress, Mr. Redmond, and I wish you the best of 
success in representing the people of New Mexico's Third Congressional 
District. You are in a tremendous body with a tremendous group of 
people. Welcome.

                          ____________________
