                            MOON OVER KOSOVO

  (MR. ENGEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I want to add my voice to say good-bye, not 
really good-bye, but of course good-bye from Washington, to someone 
that I have worked very, very closely with. The gentlewoman from New 
York, Ms. Susan Molinari and I cochaired the Albanian Issues Caucus. We 
worked very closely together on a number of things. The gentleman from 
New York, Mr. Bill Paxon and I came to Congress together after serving 
in the New York State Assembly together. In fact, I served in the 
Assembly with Guy Molinari as well.
  We know Susan is a very, very special person. When we went to Kosovo 
together that first time, it was the gentlemen from New York, Mr. Bill 
Paxon, and Mr. Peter King, the gentlewoman from New York, Ms. Susan 
Molinari, and myself.
  When Sue and Bill said they were getting married, I wondered if it 
was the Moon over Kosovo that brought them together, or the time we 
were in that hotel and there was no heat or hot water, we figured that 
might have had something to do with bringing the two of them together.

                              {time}  1615

  We are going to miss you, but we know we are still going to see you. 
I want to remind you, Susan and Bill, that when you announced that you 
were getting married, I said the Bible says be fruitful and multiply 
and that I wished you a number of children.
  I just want to remind everybody that I said my wish for Bill and 
Susan was that they would have many, many children and that their 
children would all grow up to be good Democrats.
