                   COME TOGETHER TO SERVE THE PEOPLE

  (Mr. BILIRAKIS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the birthday of 
the great Abraham Lincoln, an attorney, a Congressman, and the 16th 
President of the United States.
  In this day and age, let us honor President Lincoln by remembering 
his words: ``A house divided against itself cannot stand.''
  While these words rang true 3 years before the Civil War, they are 
just as true today, Madam Speaker. As we move past the cloud of 
impeachment, let us come together and remember why we are here in this 
Chamber: to serve the American people. That is why we are here.
  Let today be the day that we come together and serve the people of 
our great Nation in a way that would make Abraham Lincoln proud.
