                   WELCOMING BRADEN ALEXANDER HEWLETT

  (Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Members of Congress do not like 
to miss votes on the House floor, and I agree with that feeling. There 
is sometimes very good reason Members do miss votes, whether it is 
illness or important business in our district.
  This last week, I missed both Tuesday and Wednesday due to an 
important reason: my wife and I became grandparents for the third time. 
Our grandson was born Tuesday, July 22, at 3:20 p.m. at Christus St. 
John's Hospital in Houston. Braden Alexander Hewlett weighed in at 8 
pounds, 1 ounce, and 19 inches long.
  Our daughter, Dr. Angela Hewlett, and her husband, father Dr. Alex 
Hewlett, and now big sister, Lauren, who is all of 3 years old, and 
Braden are doing well, and I want to congratulate their growing family.
