                     EMERSON RYAN FOOTE HAS ARRIVED

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on the rainy, dreary early morning of 
this past Sunday, at 1:56 a.m., June 3, a bright beam of hopeful light 
burst through the darkness. Her name is Emerson Ryan Foote.
  June 3 is also the birth date of her mother, my former chief of 
staff, Gina. This new miracle of birth is the best birthday present a 
mother could have: a tiny baby girl.
  Emmie, as she will be called, was born here in our Nation's Capital, 
Washington, D.C.
  Parents Gina and Tucker Foote are proud of their new 7-pound, 2-ounce 
blessing from God.
  Every time a new life is brought into the world, we are reminded of 
all that is good and right. Mr. Speaker, the miracle of birth is the 
happiest day of the year.
  Emmie was born in the most marvelous and free country on Earth, 
America. I know her wonderful parents will instill a love of liberty, 
justice, and courage, for one day, her small little hands will shape 
our future.
  Every time a child is born, God smiles and makes a bet on the future 
of all of us. So happy birthday, Emmie, and happy birthday, Gina.
  And that is just the way it is.
