                         A HEARTFELT THANK YOU

  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, this past week, I 
had an opportunity to tour the newly opened 9/11 Memorial Museum. It 
stands as a moving tribute to all those who lost their lives at the 
World Trade Center, in Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon.
  The experience is a powerful one. The sights and sounds bring back 
memories, and tears, as well. But not just tears for the terrible 
losses, but also tears of pride for the numberless acts of courage, 
tears of gratitude for the acts of human compassion, and tears of pride 
for the way this country stood--this body stood--united and determined 
to rebuild.
  We in this body do not say thank you to each other as often as we 
should. So

I rise to say thank you to all of the Members of this body on both 
sides of the aisle and across this country for all you did to support 
my incredible city during its darkest hour.
  Thanks to each and every one of you most humbly from the bottom of my 
heart. Thank you.
