                   BIPARTISAN SPIRIT GOOD FOR AMERICA

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, this congressional session conclusion reminds 
me of the wonderful changing seasons on the Illinois prairie. Each year 
we are amazed by the God-given change in seasons, which works so well 
and even survives the most intense of storms to work together for the 
benefit of all of us here on Earth. When this Congress works together, 
it is like nature in harmony. We achieve much.
  While much was done in this first year of the 105th Congress, let us 
pledge to come back and complete the unfinished work which we will 
address in the next year. Let us cut down a little bit on the harsh 
rhetoric and the stringent remarks. Let us just work together. It is 
good for all of us.
