Thanking Members and Staff
Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, now that we have completed debate on our
intelligence authorization bill for 2004, I just wanted to thank our
chairman who is graceful, collaborative and bipartisan and the members
and staff on the majority side and to thank the strong team we have on
the Democratic side and especially our staff. By name: Christine
Healey, John Keefe, Marcel Lettre, Wyndee Parker, Beth Larson, Kirk
McConnell, Bob Emmett and Ilene Romack; and also David Flanders of my
personal staff for all the effort they put into yesterday's very
thorough and, I thought, outstanding debate.
(By unanimous consent, Mr. Goss was allowed to speak out of order.)
Thanking Members and Staff
Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I too would like to congratulate my ranking
member and the members of the staff on both sides of the aisle.
Normally I would name all those staff. This year I am just going to
point to one individual who really was the architect of the bill for
the majority, put it together, did the hard work as he always does. He
does the budget number and he understands the programs. His name is
Mike Meermans. In addition to the spectacular work he did for us in a
bipartisan and a thoroughly professional way, Mr. Meermans and his
family had a sudden and significant illness in the family. We wish his
family well and we wish his son Godspeed, full and complete recovery.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the passage of the bill.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the ayes appeared to have it.
Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further
proceedings on this question will be postponed.
