                 FAREWELL AND GODSPEED TO DEAN AGUILLEN

  (Mr. AL GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I am so honored to stand here 
tonight and say farewell to a very dear friend.

  Dean Aguillen has had a tremendous impact on my life. I have a 
legislative director that he recommended who has done a stellar job. 
And while I am sure he has been helpful to many and probably a little 
bit more helpful to some than others, I think he deserves the title of 
a real live angel in the House of Representatives.
  And ``while some measure their lives by days and years, others by 
heartthrobs, passions, and tears, the surest measure under God's sun is 
what for others in your lifetime have you done.''
  Dean, I thank you for what you have done for others in your lifetime. 
God bless you.
