                               THE HOUSE

  Mr. BARTON. Mr. Speaker, as dean of the Texas delegation, I ask 
unanimous consent that the gentleman from Texas, the Honorable Michael 
Cloud, be permitted to take the oath of office today.
  His certificate of election has not arrived, but there is no contest 
and no question has been raised with regard to his election.
  The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
Texas?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER. Will Representative-elect Cloud and the members of the 
Texas delegation present themselves in the well.
  All Members will rise and the Representative-elect will please raise 
his right hand.
  Mr. CLOUD appeared at the bar of the House and took the oath of 
office, as follows:

       Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the 
     Constitution of the United States against all enemies, 
     foreign and domestic; that you will bear true faith and 
     allegiance to the same; that you take this obligation freely, 
     without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and 
     that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the 
     office on which you are about to enter, so help you God.

  The SPEAKER. Congratulations, you are now a Member of the 115th 
Congress.
