             WELCOMING SENATOR PETE RICKETTS TO WASHINGTON

  (Mr. FLOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome to Washington the 
newest Member of the Nebraska delegation, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts.
  Senator Ricketts has just finished 8 very good years as Governor of 
Nebraska. During that time, he steered the State through challenges, 
including a dramatic period of historic flooding and a global pandemic.
  Through it all, he led Nebraska to the best performance of any State 
during the COVID pandemic, according to Politico.
  Across his 8 years as Governor, he helped run State government more 
like a business, delivered historic tax relief, and rolled back 
unnecessary State government regulations.
  Nebraska is fortunate to have his experience working for us now over 
in the Senate. The Nebraska delegation is excited to have him on the 
team, and we look forward to fighting together for the Cornhusker 
State's priorities here in Washington.
