              CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF SONNY WILLIAM HRABE

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, it's not difficult to believe that our 
Florida colleague, Connie Mack, could become a grandfather. But what is 
shocking is that our youthful and beautiful California colleague, Mary 
Bono Mack, has become a grandmother.
  Mr. Speaker, I'm happy to announce to the House that yesterday, to 
Mary's daughter, Chianna, was born Sonny William Hrabe, who, in fact, 
is the grandson, also, of our late colleague, Sonny Bono. And what is 
interesting to note is that, while this 8-pound, 4-ounce baby boy was 
born on February 16, February 16 was the date of his grandfather's 
birthday, and February 16 was the date of Sonny Bono's father. So Sonny 
William Hrabe's great-grandfather and grandfather share the exact same 
date, February 16, the birthday that he has.
  So congratulations go to the parents, Chianna and Mark, and, of 
course, to all of our colleagues and our friends and the Bono Mack 
family. And we look forward to having a chance to meet Sonny William 
sometime soon.
