                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 28, 1999

  Mr. ROGERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to inform the House of a grand 
occasion, and one which my family will celebrate for many years to 
come. On October 5th, 1999 at 12:28 p.m., my son John and his wife 
Tracy experienced the miracle of birth for the first time, becoming the 
proud parents of a baby girl. Madeleine Claire Rogers weighed in at 7 
pounds, 3 ounces and was 21 inches long. I am happy to report that 
Tracy and Madeleine are doing extremely well, with both mother and 
daughter in perfect health.
  Mr. Speaker, this is my first grandchild, and I couldn't be more 
proud or exhilarated. God has truly blessed my family, and I am 
fortunate to have this opportunity today. As this body toils through 
yet another year, we should all keep in mind the effect our actions 
will have on our children, and our children's children. I will always 
keep little Madeleine in my thoughts as we work to make this Nation a 
better place for our young ones.
