                             BIPARTISANSHIP

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, I am grateful for the opportunity to 
speak to the Members of the House. We are all here because the American 
people made it so.
  The diversity of our Nation's political ideals is boundless. That is 
what made our country what it is today. We are here to represent these 
vast ideals.
  The definition of bipartisanship is of or involving the agreement or 
cooperation of two political parties that usually oppose each other's 
policies. It is about cooperation, it is about compromise, and it is 
about working together with those who don't have the same exact ideals 
as you.
  I am asking for the membership of this House to think on the idea of 
bipartisanship. It is my belief that we owe it to the American people 
to work together.
