  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to thank Congressman 
Michael Capuano for his many years of service to his constituents in 
Massachusetts's 8th district.
  Mike and I served together on then Speaker Pelosi's Task Force on 
Ethics Enforcement in the ll0th Congress. I developed a great 
appreciation for Michael's candor and honesty while we both worked 
together. I have the highest respect for his integrity, judgement, and 
ability to find the truth on contentious or complicated issues.
  Congressman Capuano earned the respect of his colleagues during his 
time on the Task Force and now as the current Ranking Member of the 
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's Subcommittee on 
Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials.
  It has been an honor serving with him over the years.
