                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LAMAR SMITH

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 19, 2018

  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to congratulate 
Representative Jared Polis on his victory in the Colorado gubernatorial 
race even though it means he is leaving Congress.
  I have worked with Representative Polis on Science Committee issues 
over the years given his district contains both a National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and a National Institute of Standards 
and Technology (NIST) office. Congressman Polis has shown an acute 
knowledge regarding High-Tech issues given his experience running 
internet-based companies in the private sector and his philanthropic 
work in the area.
  I wish him the best of luck as he starts this new chapter serving the 
constituents of Colorado.
