              GOOD MORNING TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Bean) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. BEAN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I wish a very good morning to you 
and to the House of Representatives.
  I am Aaron Bean. I am one of the new guys. Aside from a motion to 
adjourn earlier this week, this right now is the very first time I am 
speaking on this floor, and I want to say what an honor it is to be 
with everyone in this body.
  To the people of northeast Florida--and specifically the brand new 
Fourth District of the free State of Florida--I say that I am humbled 
and grateful that you sent me here to be your voice on this floor.
  I am keenly aware of the amazing opportunity it is as well as the 
responsibilities it comes with.
  I am also, Mr. Speaker, keenly aware that our country and Nation have 
challenges--lots of them. The border and our growing deficit are just 
the tip of the iceberg.
  So I say to all the Members here, I look forward to working with you, 
tackling these challenges, and making America more secure, safer, and 
stronger.
  Mr. Speaker, let's go get `em.
