       HONORING JAMES MIN FOR EXEMPLARY SERVICE TO THE HOUSE OF 
                            REPRESENTATIVES

  (Mr. JACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JACK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. James Min for his 25 
years of exemplary service to this House of Representatives.
  A graduate from Stanford University and Georgetown Law, James served 
as the chief of staff to Vince Fong; the 55th Speaker of the House, 
Kevin McCarthy; and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Bill 
Thomas.
  In advance of this speech, I consulted with mutual friends of ours 
asking for stories that best describe James. One of our friends likened 
him to Jozef de Veuster, later known as Father Damien, who was 
venerated for his selfless acts in service to humanity. Another equated 
him to ``the Nature Boy,'' Ric Flair. Others shared wonderful memories 
from a specific fish market along the Potomac River, but a theme 
developed across each story.
  James Min always puts others first. Hundreds, if not thousands, of 
folks sought his advice when they first moved to Washington, D.C., the 
first step in successful careers for many.

  Jackie Robinson once said: ``A life is not important except in the 
impact it has on other lives.'' James Min personifies that statement 
and sentiment.
  Mr. Speaker, we wish James well in his next endeavor as his legacy 
here lasts for generations to come.
