             HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY TO JACK AND NORMA QUINN

  (Mr. QUINN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. QUINN. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to take a personal 
prerogative of the House and ask the indulgence of my colleagues. I 
want to join other Quinn clan members from Buffalo and Hamburg and 
Blasdell, New York in honoring and wishing my parents, Jack and Norma 
Quinn, happy 50th anniversary this Saturday, May 6.
  I have to be clear that I represent only five sons, five great 
daughter-in-laws, 13 grandchildren, and one great granddaughter, but I 
have a chance to do it here that they might not have. We offer 
congratulations of course and thanks.
  Mr. Speaker, if I could quote the Chaplain this morning who said, 
``that we are a reflection of Your love in this world.'' I think I 
would want our parents to know that we, too, are a reflection of their 
love in this world.
  We congratulate them on 50 years of wedded bliss and thank them for 
all the sacrifices they made for us.
