                      CONGRATULATING CHRIS CARNEY

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my good 
friend, Chris Carney, on taking the oath of office to the State Senate 
in North Carolina.
  Chris has served as a town commissioner for the last number of years. 
I was able to work with him on that board. He developed a reputation as 
a thoughtful leader, someone who listened to his constituents and 
actually tried to craft solutions. He'll take that same mentality to 
the State Senate in North Carolina. So today I rise to congratulate 
Chris Carney. His community is proud of him, and I'm proud to call him 
a friend.
  I know his wife and his three children are very excited about the 
role he is about to undertake. Congratulations, Chris.
