                         FAREWELL TO KIRK BOYLE

  (Mr. CANTOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor and privilege to be here 
today to salute an individual who has served this House for many years, 
who is also leaving us today. Kirk Boyle first started his career with 
this House with the former majority leader, Dick Armey. He served as 
Dick Armey's page in the House and later returned after schooling to be 
a floor assistant for Dick Armey. In the last year he has become part 
of the majority whip's team and has been on the floor with leadership, 
with the majority whip Roy Blunt.
  Anybody who knows Kirk knows he is a source of accurate information. 
He always knows what is going on. He has been a tremendous asset to all 
of us.
  Lastly, I would just like to note that I think he will be best 
remembered as the cofounder and creator of the Boyle-Turton precedent 
which, as you know, contributes to the expeditious proceedings of this 
House.
  Again, I salute Kirk Boyle and wish him well as he continues his life 
journey and development as an individual as he goes and moves on to 
Chicago to perform some mission work and to do good for the people of 
this great land.
  Congratulations. We will miss you, Kirk.
