THANKING MEMBERS FOR A COURTEOUS AND DIGNIFIED DEBATE ON THE BILL JUST 
                                 PASSED

  (Mr. KASICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KASICH. Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to take a moment to thank the 
House Members on both sides of the aisle for the kind of courtesies and 
dignity with which we conducted that last 3 hours worth of debate, and 
I want to thank the House for the opportunity to move this bill 
forward.
  I had the sense out here on the floor as we wrapped up the debate, 
Mr. Speaker, that while there may be differences, may be there is a 
little ice melting here in our ability to be able to get along, to have 
differences and yet still maintain a good spirit about things, and I 
think that is nothing but good for the future of this House.


          REMOVAL OF NAME OF MEMBER AS COSPONSOR OF H.R. 1636

  Mr. BAESLER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that my name be 
removed as a cosponsor of H.R. 1636.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Tiahrt). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Kentucky?
  There was no objection.
