                        HONORING SPEAKER HASTERT

  (Mr. MANZULLO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute).
  Mr. MANZULLO. Madam Speaker, I am proud to come down to the floor 
this morning to show my strong support for my friend and our Speaker, 
Denny Hastert. This is a man of intense integrity, a man of great 
character, a man who has worked tirelessly to bring honor and as much 
unity as possible to this institution.
  When our former Speaker and successors resigned, we went to Denny to 
be our Speaker because he was the right man for the job. He has never 
let us down. He set the standard for integrity. I would encourage ABC, 
who thinks it knows truth in its own definition and probably does, I 
would encourage them to tell the truth and to apologize to the American 
people for their assault upon the Speaker of the House.
