  WELCOMING THE HONORABLE CLAY FULLER TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  Mr. BISHOP. Mr. Speaker, as dean of Georgia's congressional 
delegation, I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to the Honorable 
Clay Fuller.
  Welcome, Clay.
  Our delegation is diverse, and we are passionate about how we best 
represent the great State of Georgia. However, most of all, something I 
am very proud of is that we still find a way to work together across 
the aisle, even as we have our diverse interests, particularly when 
subjects impact the people of the great State of Georgia, wherever they 
might live, to make our State continue to be the best State in America 
to do business.
  As co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Military Family Caucus, I 
appreciate Mr. Fuller's background as an airman and air guardsman, and 
the tireless contributions of his family to help him get to where he is 
today. Congratulations, Kate, and your two beautiful children.
  Clay, I know that you will be a champion for rural Georgia, a passion 
that we can share in common. I look forward to the opportunities ahead 
to collaborate.
  On a personal note, I am happy to see another Emory University 
alumnus and a practicing attorney join the ranks of public service in 
Congress from the great State of Georgia.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Austin 
Scott), my dear friend and colleague from the Eighth Congressional 
District, my neighbor, the senior and longest serving Republican in the 
Georgia delegation.
  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Bishop 
for yielding. I will be brief before Mr. Fuller has his 10 words.
  He is a district attorney from north Georgia. He has done an 
exceptionally good job there. He is still a JAG officer in the Georgia 
National Guard, and he brings a lot of valuable insight and experience 
to the House of Representatives. Let's hope we use it.
  I am glad to introduce you to the newest member of the Georgia 
delegation of the United States Congress, Mr. Clay Fuller, and his 
family.
  Mr. FULLER. Mr. Speaker, I was actually told it was 5 words, not 10.
  First off, I just want to say thank you to God. But for His grace, I 
wouldn't be here today. I want to say thank you to my wife, Kate, and 
my two children, Tallulah and Callum, here. I hope I am going to make 
you proud each and every day here.
  I want to also say thank you to the friends and family who traveled 
all the way here to be with me today. I hope I make you proud.
  To the hardworking people of Georgia 14 who elected me, you have sent 
a warrior to Congress, and I can't wait to fight for you each and every 
day.
  To my Democratic colleagues, I look forward to working with each and 
every one of you.
  Mr. Speaker, I am ready to get to work here. God bless you all.
