  EXPRESSING APPRECIATION TO MEMBERS FOR CONDOLENCES RECEIVED ON THE 
              PASSING OF THE HONORABLE ROBERT H. MOLLOHAN

  (Mr. MOLLOHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MOLLOHAN. Mr. Speaker, I simply want to express my appreciation 
for the many kind comments that I have heard on the floor today from my 
colleagues on the passing of my father. I certainly appreciate those 
sentiments, both those that have been expressed publicly and those that 
have been expressed privately. They are consoling and important, and I 
very much appreciate those comments.
  In addition, I would like to express appreciation to the majority 
leadership and to my minority leadership for accommodating my schedule 
and bringing up this very important legislation, the steel, oil and gas 
loan guarantee program. I know they have accommodated my personal 
situation, and for that I am deeply grateful to both the majority 
leadership and to the minority leadership.
