                 WELCOME TO THE HONORABLE DAVID VITTER

  (Mr. TAUZIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. TAUZIN. Mr. Speaker, it is with extreme pleasure that the 
Louisiana delegation presents to you the newest member of our 
delegation, the newest Member of the American House of Representatives, 
Mr. David Vitter.
  David is extremely well qualified to join this body. Unlike the 
Member in the well, who graduated from Harvard on the Bayou in 
Louisiana, David actually got his education at Harvard University. He 
is a Rhodes Scholar. He and his lovely wife, Wendy, are the parents of 
three beautiful children, including a young set of twins. Their three 
daughters are here today to celebrate this day with them. Like Chris 
John in our delegation, they are the parents of twins, and we are real 
excited to have him and his family join our delegation.
  Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bob Livingston is here, a former member, as 
you know, and Mr. Jimmy Hayes is here from Louisiana, also to welcome 
David.
  Would you please join me in welcoming again the newest member of the 
Louisiana delegation and the newest Member of our House of 
Representatives here in Washington, D.C., Mr. David Vitter.
