                    HONORING CONGRESSMAN RICK NOLAN

  (Mr. STAUBER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STAUBER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
service of my predecessor, Congressman Rick Nolan.
  Congressman Nolan has a long and distinguished history in this 
Chamber.

[[Page H6171]]

He first served as the Representative of Minnesota's Sixth 
Congressional District from 1975 through 1981, and then returned to 
Congress to serve as the Representative of Minnesota's Eighth 
Congressional District from 2013 to 2019.
  Many who served with Rick remember him as a fighter for northern 
Minnesota and an avid lover of the great outdoors, and an advocate for 
those diagnosed with cancer.
  I will always remember Rick as an exceptionally kind man. My favorite 
memory of Rick is the time I ran into him on a flight to Minnesota from 
Washington, D.C. He was a departing Member of Congress, and I was 
preparing to begin my first term.
  Even though we disagreed on many issues, he made sure to come over 
and give me a hug and wish me well. I appreciated his kindness that 
day, and I know all of Minnesota appreciates his service.
  My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Mary, and all of his 
loved ones as they grieve his loss.
