  Mr. HOYER. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the gentleman 
from Maryland, the Honorable Kweisi Mfume, be permitted to take the 
oath of office today.
  His certificate of election has not arrived, but there is no contest 
and no question has been raised with regard to his election.
  The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
Maryland?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER. Will Representative-elect Mfume and the members of the 
Maryland delegation present themselves in the well.
  All Members will rise and the Representative-elect will raise his 
right hand.

       Do you solemnly swear or affirm that you will support and 
     defend the Constitution of the United States against all 
     enemies, foreign and domestic; that you will bear true faith 
     and allegiance to the same; that you take this obligation 
     freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; 
     and that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of 
     the office on which you are about to enter, so help you God.

  The SPEAKER. Congratulations, you are now a Member of the 116th
