                         REMEMBERING ROD GRAMS

  (Mr. NOLAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NOLAN. Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I am proud to say 
that Rod was a constituent of mine in the last years of his life, 
running a small town radio station at which he did just a wonderfully 
good job.
  He was always so thoughtful and so dedicated to public service and so 
highly regarded by all who knew him. He was a wonderful public servant. 
He contributed much to the well-being of Minnesota and to this Nation 
and to the civility of this Chamber, itself. His contributions are 
enormous, and his presence will be forever apparent here, and we will 
miss him greatly.
  We extend our deepest, heartfelt sympathies to the family and to all 
of those who had the good fortune to know and work with Rod Grams.
