RECOGNIZING CONGRESSMAN JOHN D. DINGELL FOR HIS LIFELONG CONTRIBUTIONS 
                             TO HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HOYER. Ladies and gentlemen of the House, this is obviously an 
historic rule. There were some of us who were for it and some of us who 
were against it, but I know that all of us, all 434 of his colleagues, 
are honored to serve with the longest-serving Member of this House, who 
has committed himself to health care throughout his life, as did his 
father. We honor him for the service he has given to our country.
  Ladies and gentlemen, let us stand in honor of John Dingell.
