TIME TO BRING THE INVESTIGATION OF CALIFORNIA'S 46TH DISTRICT ELECTION 
                               TO AN END

  (Ms. KILPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KILPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the gentlewoman 
from California, Ms. Loretta Sanchez, duly elected to the 46th District 
in California 10 months ago, certified by the Republican Secretary of 
State 10 months ago.
  It is important that we bring this to a close. The Committee on House 
Oversight has been hearing in special session all the evidence. It is 
now, Mr. Speaker, that we call for a close. The gentlewoman from 
California won over a 900 vote plurality and has been duly elected. Let 
us bring this to a close, let the gentlewoman serve her people in that 
district and get down to the work of the American people.
