             HOUSE PASSES WARTIME SUPPLEMENTAL UNANIMOUSLY

  (Mr. OSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OSE. Mr. Speaker, we just passed a wartime supplemental, and I 
wanted to make a note that it was unanimously done. I think it is a 
marvelous tribute to this country and this body that when this country 
is faced with the challenges that we have in front of us and our young 
people are deployed to protect us and our interests, that we bind 
together as a team, that we bind together as a country and that our 
leadership is able to take us to where we need to go.
  The work that the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Young) and the 
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey) have done in working with the 
Senate is a marvelous tribute to their skills as legislators, and to 
the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hastert) and the gentlewoman from 
California (Ms. Pelosi) as Speaker and minority leader here in the 
House, they have my commendations. I am pleased to be here and be part 
of this momentous occasion.
