                               ED ROYBAL

  (Mr. MORAN of Kansas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. MORAN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from 
California.
  Mr. HUNTER. I thank my friend for yielding.
  Mr. Speaker, when I came out to speak about another issue that was 
very important to me, I did not realize that we were doing 1-minutes on 
our great friend Ed Roybal.
  I just wanted to add my voice as a Californian who came to Congress 
and was subject to Ed Roybal's kindness and goodness and great sense of 
courtliness and courtesy, that he will be deeply missed. Because the 
fabric of Ed Roybal is what makes this House run and gives us civility 
in difficult times. What a wonderful, fine gentleman and what wonderful 
treatment he accorded all of us in the California delegation, 
Republican and Democrat.
