                   REMEMBERING CONGRESSMAN DON YOUNG

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the dean of 
this House, Congressman Don Young, and to remember him from a 
perspective of far-reaching diversity and love of the institution.
  I offer my deepest sympathy to his wife, his family, his extended 
family, and all of the people of Alaska and all of the people of the 
Nation.
  Everyone who has offered a word of salute to Congressman Young 
emphasizes his 49 years, but most of all, his love of getting the job 
done--getting something done.
  And, of course, when I was having the privilege of being in the 
Chair, Mr. Speaker, I could always be reminded of that voice ``regular 
order.'' And often you wanted to just do what Don Young said: Regular 
order. Gavel it down. But, again, he did so because of a respect for 
this institution.
  I thank him for all of the introductions to Alaska that he made and, 
really, all of the work for the Alaskan people. No matter who they 
were, where they lived, in far reaches or inner cities, Don Young 
represented the State so ably.
  I am grateful to have spent just a small amount of time--two 
decades--with Don Young in the House. And he will be remembered, and we 
will be reminded of what love of the institution truly means; unselfish 
commitment, and the commitment to work and get the job done.
  Mr. Speaker, I salute the late Congressman Don Young. I thank him for 
teaching us how to get the job done.
