                     ONE FINE TEXAN: LOUIE GOHMERT

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, the House is losing many fine Members at the 
end of this session, and I wish them all well. There is one retiring 
Member I want to say a few words about today.
  That Member is my good friend, Louie Gohmert.
  Louie and I came to Congress in the 109th in the year 2005 in a 
relatively small class. But that class had five fine Texans, three of 
whom have already retired.
  Louie Gohmert has been a great friend and an extremely dedicated 
patriot and Representative. He has been actually a great friend to all 
people in this body. He is kind and gentle. He is very serious also 
about the work that is done here.
  I know he has often been frustrated by the actions of both the House 
and Senate, but he has continued to work diligently to make our country 
and, indeed, the entire world better.
  The highest compliment I think I can pay him is that he is a good man 
who has always sought to do good.
  Our country has been blessed by Louie Gohmert throughout his life, 
and I am sure he will continue to do good.
  Mr. Speaker, I will miss Louie, but will pray that God will continue 
to bless him, Kathy, and his daughters.
