                            THANKS TO STAFF

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, I first would like to express my 
appreciation on behalf of the Committee on Rules to all the staff here, 
and to express my appreciation to the staff of the Committee on Rules 
for the long hours that they have put in. I would also like to say that 
in 9 hours we will be beginning a very interesting and rigorous debate 
on the issues that the reading clerk has just provided for us.
