                    ANNOUNCEMENT OF ELECTION RESULTS

  (Mr. BOEHNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, as chairman of the Republican Conference it 
is my pleasure to announce that we have two new members of our 
Republican leadership team.
  At a conference of Republican Members this morning, we elected a new 
vice chairman of the Republican Conference, the gentlewoman from 
Washington, Ms. Jennifer Dunn. And we

elected the gentlewoman from Ohio, Ms. Deborah Pryce as secretary to 
the Republican Conference.
  We have a unified Republican effort here with these new elections to 
bring about what the American people are expecting of us: to balance 
the Federal budget for the first time in 27 years, to reduce taxes for 
middle income American families, and to solve the impending crisis with 
Medicare.
  It is my pleasure today to bring this news to the House. I look 
forward to working with Members on both sides of the aisle to do what 
the American people sent us here to do, and that is their agenda.
