                         REMEMBERING MARK SPAIN

  (Mr. McGUIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGUIRE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the award-winning 
TV anchor, Mark Spain. On December 18, central Virginia lost a friend 
in WSET ABC 13 News anchor Mark Spain after a battle with pancreatic 
cancer.
  Mark Spain was known for his sense of humor, his smile, and his 
positive nicknames for his friends in the office. Mark was a consistent 
voice in the community and will be remembered as a pillar in the 
Lynchburg, Virginia, area.
  On January 4, a day after being sworn into Congress, I attended Mark 
Spain's celebration of life at the Thomas Road Baptist Church in 
Lynchburg, Virginia.
  Mr. Speaker, today from the House floor I want to take a moment to 
remember Mark Spain and say that Tracy and I join our community in 
praying for Mark, his wife Lynita, their three children, and the WSET 
ABC 13 News family during this difficult time.
