  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate this opportunity to pay 
tribute to the fine gentleman from California, Mr. Vic Fazio. We have 
been extremely blessed to have such a hardworking, fair leader in the 
Democratic Caucus and the House of Representatives. He has always tried 
to assist all Members, no matter what side of the aisle they are on. 
Vic Fazio has consistently possessed a keen understanding of what it 
truly means to be a public servant. Through his dedication to listening 
to the needs of the American people and unfaltering leadership, Vic 
Fazio has served as a strong role model for all current and future 
Members of the House of Representatives.
  Vic, I congratulate you on your retirement, and thank you for setting 
such a high standard of excellence and integrity.
