EXPRESSING APPRECIATION TO MEMBERS FOR CONDOLENCES RECEIVED ON THE
PASSING OF THE HONORABLE ROBERT H. MOLLOHAN
(Mr. MOLLOHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. MOLLOHAN. Mr. Speaker, I simply want to express my appreciation
for the many kind comments that I have heard on the floor today from my
colleagues on the passing of my father. I certainly appreciate those
sentiments, both those that have been expressed publicly and those that
have been expressed privately. They are consoling and important, and I
very much appreciate those comments.
[[Page H7222]]
In addition, I would like to express appreciation to the majority
leadership and to my minority leadership for accommodating my schedule
and bringing up this very important legislation, the steel, oil and gas
loan guarantee program. I know they have accommodated my personal
situation, and for that I am deeply grateful to both the majority
leadership and to the minority leadership.
