                            PRESLEY POE, #10

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, as the sun rose in the Hill Country 
shortly before 8 a.m., she breathed her first breath of life. She 
weighed 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and was 19\1/2\ inches long as she arrived 
in Round Rock, Texas, on April 12 of this year.
  Presley Poe is the fourth child born to Suzy and Kurt Poe.
  I call Presley #10 since I refer to each of our grandchildren not 
only by name but by their birth numbers as well.
  Anyway, Presley, like all of us, did not choose her family or her 
place of birth, but she is blessed to be born to a God-fearing family 
and in a Nation like no other.
  There is something about little girls that makes us smile. Maybe it's 
their happy spirit. Or is it that little glow of angelic quality with a 
speck of mischief? Or maybe it is we see in their eyes a hope for a 
better and gentler world. It's all of these, of course.
  So, welcome to the world, Presley. As your grandfather, I hope you 
walk in the path of goodness, giving, and gratitude--and that you 
attend the University of Texas and not Texas A&M.
  And that's just the way it is.


                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their 
remarks to the Chair.
