  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the gentlewoman 
from New York, the Honorable Kathleen Courtney Hochul, be permitted to 
take the oath of office today.
  As pointed out, her certificate of election has not arrived, but 
there is no contest and no question has been raised with regard to her 
election.
  The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
New York?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER. Will Representative-elect Hochul and the members of the 
New York delegation present themselves in the well.
  All Members will rise and the Representative-elect will please raise 
her right hand.

office, as follows:
  Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the 
Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and 
domestic; that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; 
that you take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or 
purpose of evasion; and that you will well and faithfully discharge the 
duties of the office on which you are about to enter, so help you God.
  The SPEAKER. Congratulations, you are now a Member of the 112th 
Congress.
