                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 10, 2014

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to the long 
and distinguished career of Congressman Henry Waxman.
  Congressman Waxman's career speaks for itself. He has been at the 
forefront of many of the most important legislative and policy battles 
of the past four decades. From combating Big Tobacco to championing the 
Affordable Care Act, Henry has been an indispensable voice in the 
House. It was an honor to serve with him and I commend his long and 
storied career.
  I had the privilege of serving alongside Congressman Waxman on the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. During our time together 
on the Oversight Committee, we focused on investigations into cost 
overruns and money wasted on reconstruction in Iraq.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring the service of Congressman 
Henry Waxman in the United States House of Representatives.
