          THANKS TO EDWARD PEASE FOR HIS DISTINGUISHED SERVICE

  Mr. SCOTT. Mr. Speaker, I ask for this time just to thank the Speaker 
for the distinguished manner in which he has presided today and on 
previous days. Much has been made about the acrimony of the House of 
Representatives, and I can say that if more Members behaved as the 
Speaker has in the honorable and distinguished way that he has 
conducted his legislative affairs, very little would have been heard 
about acrimony.

  So I want to join the gentleman from California in thanking the 
Speaker for his fine service.
