                       MY BROTHER, MY INSPIRATION

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Indiana (Mr. Pence) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor my 
brother, Mike Pence. Michael has been my Congressman, my Governor, and 
our Nation's Vice President. While serving my constituents, he has been 
my inspiration.
  Everyone has their own preconceived notions of who my brother is. The 
real Mike Pence, the man I have known his whole life as his oldest 
brother, is one of the best, most honorable people I know, and he has 
always done the right thing.
  Michael is devoted, kind, and generous, and he loves his family very 
much. He is humble and gentle, but he is the bravest and boldest of my 
siblings. His mettle is iron tested. His character is unimpeachable. 
These are the qualities that made him the leader that he is.
  It has been my honor to follow in his footsteps and represent the 
Hoosiers of the Sixth District of Indiana.
  As I stand here so proud of the man Michael is today, it is a gift to 
be his brother. He has been a gift to our country, and he has been a 
gift to our Constitution.
  May God bless Michael R. Pence and continue to prosper him and not 
harm him, give him hope and a future.
