                          GRATITUDE AND THANKS

  Mr. WATKINS of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my 
personal gratitude and thanks to the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Hansen) 
for his tremendous years of service, 20 years, and for his great 
leadership on the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct as well as 
the Committee on Resources. I would like to also thank, and we would be 
remiss if we did not thank, the staff for the tremendous work they have 
done in trying to put things together so they would be workable and 
also so we could pass something.
  So, I thank the chairman and thanks to all of the staff for all of 
their tremendous work and help. It has been wonderful being in this 
body. This is my last remarks as an official Member and I just want to 
thank all of my colleagues for allowing me to come and be with you and 
serve over these years.
  (Mr. DAVIS of Virginia asked and was given permission to speak out of 
order.)
