THANKING MINNESOTA'S FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF 
                              SERVING THEM

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Minnesota (Mr. Hagedorn) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. HAGEDORN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank the residents of 
Minnesota's First District for the privilege and honor of serving them 
as their Representative in the House of Representatives.
  As southern Minnesota's servant in Congress, I will work to keep 
America safe with secure borders and a military and foreign policy of 
peace through strength.
  I will work to make America prosperous by transforming the Federal 
Government and implementing regulatory reform, individual tax reform, 
work for welfare, patient-centered medical care, merit-based 
immigration, and achieving U.S. energy independence.
  I will work to protect our God-given U.S. constitutional rights, 
especially the right to life, the right of law-abiding Americans to 
keep and bear arms, and the right to religious freedom.
  Lastly, I will work to sustain agriculture and our rural southern 
Minnesota way of life.
  Madam Speaker, serving this body is humbling, and I look forward to 
working with my colleagues to restore America's greatness and reflect 
the views and values of the constituents of the First District of 
Minnesota.
