take the oath of office today.
  Her certificate of election has not arrived, but there is no contest 
and no question has been raised with regard to her election.
  The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from 
Illinois?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER. Will Representative-elect Kelly and the members of the 
Illinois delegation present themselves in the well.
  All Members will rise and the Representative-elect will please raise 
her right hand.

       Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the 
     Constitution of the United States against all enemies, 
     foreign and domestic; that you will bear true faith and 
     allegiance to the same; that you take this obligation freely, 
     without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and 
     that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the 
     office on which you are about to enter, so help you God.

  The SPEAKER. Congratulations, you are now a Member of the 113th 
Congress.
