                             General Leave

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may 
have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and 
include extraneous materials on H.R. 5679.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, as I explained during consideration of H.R. 5677, this 
bill has been prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and 
makes a number of conforming changes to statutes that

[[Page H6755]]

have been impacted by OLRC's editorial reclassification of titles 7, 
20, and 43 of the United States Code.
  As I described previously, the statutory changes made by this bill 
are purely technical in nature and they do not change the meaning or 
effect of any existing laws.
  I thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. Jones) for introducing this 
legislation, I urge all Members to support it, and I reserve the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, this is a technical correction bill, but it is 
well-needed. The minority has not only no objection, but we fully 
support its passage.
  I have no further speakers, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, as important as this legislation is, my 
brief remarks were enough to explain the bill for the record.
  Therefore, with the time remaining, I would like to take this 
opportunity to thank Perry Apelbaum for more than 30 years of tireless 
service to the House Judiciary Committee.
  As you know, Mr. Speaker, the Judiciary Committee is entrusted with a 
wide and diverse set of issues, ranging from constitutional law and the 
Federal criminal code to immigration and intellectual property.
  In his three decades with the committee, as a trusted counsel and 
staff director, Perry has left his mark on nearly every area of law 
within that broad jurisdiction: protecting the right to vote, securing 
our basic civil liberties, and holding the powerful to account where 
necessary.
  All of official Washington knows Perry as a brilliant attorney, a 
selfless friend, and a voice of calm in a crisis. He earned that 
reputation leading the country through some of the toughest moments in 
our recent history.
  He has worked as senior staff on three impeachments. He coauthored 
three books with his longtime boss, Chairman John Conyers, Jr.: ``What 
Went Wrong in Ohio,'' ``The Constitution in Crisis,'' and ``Reining in 
the Imperial Presidency.''
  After the attacks of September 11, 2001, Perry worked across the 
aisle to keep us safe in a manner that would be consistent with our 
civil liberties.
  After the attacks of January 6, 2021, he spent many sleepless nights 
ensuring that our democratic institutions would endure.
  What strikes me, Mr. Speaker, is that Perry's most important and 
lasting contributions to the committee have gone to secure a better 
life for the Americans who need our help most. These accomplishments 
include the Innocence Protection Act, the Matthew Shepherd-James Byrd, 
Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act, the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights 
Crime Act, the Second Chance Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the 
Helping Families Save Their Homes Act, and the James Zadroga 9/11 
Health and Compensation Act.
  All told, these accomplishments have benefited countless citizens. 
They have made our social contract more just and our justice system 
more fair. Mr. Speaker, the Talmud teaches us that whosoever saves one 
life has saved an entire world. By this measure, worlds upon worlds owe 
a debt of gratitude to Perry Apelbaum.
  Perry is, of course, far from finished in his work for the American 
people. He has told us repeatedly that he intends ``to run all the way 
through the tape'' on his last days on Capitol Hill.
  He leaves us with a clear sense of mission. He has laid the 
groundwork for our most important prerogatives, including but not 
limited to comprehensive police reform, commonsense checks on the 
scourge of gun violence, and the reauthorization of the Voting Rights 
Act.
  Perry will continue his public service in the Department of Justice 
as a senior counsel in the Antitrust Division. He has already proven 
himself a committed advocate for American consumers. His sense of 
fairness in matters of antitrust law is unwavering, and our loss will 
be the Department's gain.
  Of course, we owe our thanks to Perry's beloved wife, Laura Apelbaum, 
and his two children, Benjamin and Sarah. There is no question that 
they have sustained Perry, in good times and bad, through these many 
years.
  But most of all, Mr. Speaker, we owe our thanks to Perry Apelbaum. 
His departure marks the end of an era on Capitol Hill. Our parting is 
bittersweet, but we are so grateful for his leadership, and we wish 
Perry nothing but the best as he takes on this new challenge on behalf 
of the American people. Please join me in thanking Perry for his 
service.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
