                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 19, 2018

  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to thank Representative 
Gene Green for his years of service in Congress. He and I have been 
members of the Texas delegation for years and I consider him to be both 
a colleague and a friend.
  Gene has selflessly dedicated years of his life to represent the 
constituents of the 29th district of Texas. He has listened to their 
concerns and focused on the issues they care about.
  Gene has worked with his colleagues on the Energy and Commerce 
Committee to pass legislation that has the support of both parties. His 
current leadership position as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee 
on Health, as well as his previous leadership roles on the Committee 
has garnered him respect from his peers throughout Congress.
  I wish Gene the best as he starts his next chapter.
