    TRIBUTE TO HON. WILLIAM GOODLING, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON 
                      EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE

  (Mr. FATTAH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Speaker, I seek the opportunity to join my colleagues 
in saying a word for our party member, the retiring gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Goodling).
  I have had the opportunity to serve with him for a number of terms as 
he has led the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. His work 
in regard to improving the life skills and life chances of millions of 
young people, and in particular his work in developing the Even Start 
Program and his support for additional resources to be provided in 
terms of special education, are of particular note.
  I join with my colleagues from the State of Pennsylvania and many of 
us who served with him on the House Committee on Education and the 
Workforce in wishing the gentleman God speed in his retirement.
