                                 ______

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 13, 2014

  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I submit this statement to honor 
the distinguished life and career of Congressman Philip M. Crane. I was 
fortunate enough to serve with Phil not only in the House but also on 
the Ways and Means Committee. He was in his third decade of public 
service when I was just starting out, and so I considered Phil a role 
model. While in Congress, Phil shaped several trade agreements as 
chairman of the Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee. He also helped to 
found the Republican Study Committee, of which I am a proud member. 
Outside of Congress, Phil was a loving husband and father, an 
accomplished scholar, and a proud veteran.
  Phil was an exceptional leader, and his legacy will serve as an 
inspiration for conservatives and all public servants for generations 
to come.
