                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 19, 2002

  Mr. BUYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to show my appreciation for the 
distinguished member from Indiana's Third District. For the past twelve 
years, Congressman Tim Roemer has served the people of Northcentral 
Indiana with a steadfast commitment and dedication to their needs.
  A Hoosier, born and bred, Tim Roemer came to Washington, D.C. to 
represent the fundamental Indiana values of strong faith in God and an 
unwavering duty to country and to family. As a member of Congress and a 
father of four, he has been a strong advocate for trying to make the 
House of Representatives more family-friendly.
  As a member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, he has 
worked tirelessly to improve our children's education from Head Start 
all the way to the college-level, supporting public school choice and 
making college education more affordable for all Americans.
  I want to thank Congressman Tim Roemer for his hard work on behalf of 
the Third District, the State of Indiana and the country. I wish him, 
his wife Sally and their four children--Patrick Hunter, Matthew 
Bennett, Sarah Kathryn and Grace Elizabeth, all the best in the future.
