          THANKING MEL GIBSON AND WISHING A HAPPY EASTER BREAK

  (Mr. SHIMKUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I want to address a ``thank you'' to Mel 
Gibson and his movie ``The Passion of the Christ.''
  I think it is appropriate during this Easter break that we understand 
that no greater love is this, than one lays down their life for someone 
else.
  As we go back to our districts and work and try to address the 
concerns and problems of our constituents and the Nation, I think it is 
just appropriate to remember that we are all one family and we need to 
work together to solve our problems.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish all my colleagues a happy Easter break.
