          TRIBUTE TO THE HONORABLE STEVEN SCHIFF OF NEW MEXICO

  (Mr. WALSH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I was a little bit late for the resolution 
regarding my classmate, colleague and very good friend, Steve Schiff, 
and I wanted to have my remarks included with the other Members who 
spoke in that resolution.
  Steve was a remarkable man, someone who I got to know when I came to 
Washington. I served with him for 9 years, admired him, admired his 
honesty and his judgment, his dedication.
  He is one of those many Members who comes here and who does not come 
here for the glory. He comes here for the service to the country, and 
he provided it in an exemplary way.
  As I was coming into the Capitol and I looked up and I saw the flag 
at half-staff, and I thought what a tribute that is to him, how proud 
he would have been, how proud his family must be of him, how proud his 
State is of the service that he provided, how proud his friends must be 
of the service that he provided.
