    COMMENDING THE HONORABLE JESSE JACKSON, JR., HONORABLE WILLIAM 
   LIPINSKI, HONORABLE JOHN MICA AND HONORABLE MARK KIRK, MEMBERS OF 
                                CONGRESS

  (Mr. HYDE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, I want to say what a genuine pleasure it is to 
work with fiery, intelligent, energetic, honorable Congressmen like the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Jackson), the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. 
Lipinski), the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Mica), and the gentleman 
from Illinois (Mr. Kirk). They are the salt of the Earth. This was a 
debate on the merits, and, even though they stacked the deck on us, it 
still was a pleasure.
