                      HONORING ROBERT EARL HARRIS

  (Mr. BUTTERFIELD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight with mixed emotion to 
recognize a young man who has devoted his young career to the House of 
Representatives.

[[Page 10890]]

  I am happy to report that my legislative director, Robert Earl 
Harris, who is also my assistant here on the House floor as a part of 
the whip operation, is leaving his employment here with the House to 
accept private sector employment here in Washington.
  Robert Earl Harris started off, Mr. Speaker, 4 years ago as an unpaid 
intern with the office of my predecessor, and he has risen through the 
ranks and is now the legislative director for my office and part of the 
whip team with Congressman James Clyburn.
  I want to thank Robert Harris for his service to the House of 
Representatives, and thank him for the great American that he is.
