  CONGRATULATING THE HON. JAMES LANGEVIN ON BEING SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from 
Maryland (Mr. Hoyer) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, if the Speaker and the House would give me 
leave, let me say how proud I am to see Mr. Langevin presiding over the 
House of Representatives; how proud I am that we have made a reasonable 
accommodation, so somebody like Jim Langevin from Rhode Island, whose 
character and intellect has commended him to the electorate of Rhode 
Island to send him to the House of Representatives; how proud I am that 
we made a reasonable accommodation in the House of Representatives so 
that Mr. Langevin, as he properly should have the ability to do, 
preside over the House of Representatives.
  Congratulations, Mr. Langevin, for your courage and your leadership 
and your extraordinary example.
