                    BIDDING FAREWELL TO SETH KLAIMAN

  (Mr. LANGEVIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bid farewell to a vital 
member of my team and my right-hand man in Rhode Island for the last 7 
years. Seth Klaiman joined my staff as district director and then my 
Rhode Island chief of staff after working for several cycles on my 
reelection campaign. The people of Rhode Island's Second District could 
not have asked for a more dedicated public servant.
  Seth worked nonstop, and he embodied the phrase ``underpromise and 
overdeliver.'' His organizational skills are unparalleled, and he was 
instrumental in helping me manage my most valuable resource, my time, 
on behalf of the people of Rhode Island.
  Seth is leaving to serve as chief of staff to our State Treasurer, 
Seth Magaziner. It is a terrific opportunity for him to continue to 
serve the Ocean State. And while I am sad to see him go, I wish him the 
very best of luck in his new role.
  To Seth, his wife, Ann, and their new son, Sebastian, I offer my 
sincerest thanks for your years making me look good and all the work 
you have done on behalf of the people of Rhode Island. I often say that 
we are only as good as the people around us, and I am lucky to have had 
a decade spent with you.
