                     HONORING CONGRESSMAN RUSH HOLT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BETTY McCOLLUM

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 11, 2014

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to the career 
of Congressman Rush Holt.
  During his time in the House, Congressman Holt has been a leader on 
protecting the environment and his voice on this important issue will 
be sorely missed. A research physicist by training, his constituents 
are known to boast bumper stickers proclaiming ``My Congressman IS a 
Rocket Scientist.'' I know we have all benefited from Rush's 
intelligence and wisdom during his time in office.
  I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Rush on 
protecting our environment. His perspective as a scientist has enriched 
the debate over conserving our natural resources and seeking clean 
sources of alternative energy. I wish him the best in his new role as 
CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a cause 
that is close to his heart.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring the service of Congressman 
Rush Holt in the United States House of Representatives.
