                  TRIBUTE TO CONGRESSMAN MIKE McINTYRE

  (Mr. HUDSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my good friend and 
colleague from North Carolina, Congressman Mike McIntyre. Mike and I 
are blessed to represent the southeastern region of North Carolina and 
some of the most hardworking, genuine, and thoughtful people you will 
ever meet.
  Mike has his priorities in order. He has dedicated his life to God, 
his family, and serving his constituents, and he has done so with 
unparalleled honor and integrity.
  In Congress, he has been a voice for common sense, and he has never 
been afraid to reach across the aisle to get things done for our local 
communities. During his years of service on the House Agriculture and 
the House Armed Services Committees, Mike has, time and again, stood up 
for issues folks care about back home in North Carolina.
  I am honored that I inherited Robeson County from Mike, a place my 
family has called home for generations, and I am thrilled to call Mike 
and his amazing wife, Dee, my constituents.
  I can tell you firsthand that Mike is respected across southeastern 
North Carolina because he has a sincere passion for the people he 
represents and serves.
  I thank Mike McIntyre for his leadership to North Carolina over the 
years. It has been a privilege to get to know Mike, to call him a 
friend, and to work with him to make life better for the folks of North 
Carolina.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope the House will join me in wishing Mike and Dee 
well in their future endeavors. We are going to miss him around here.
