              PROUD MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, this is the last day of the first session of 
the 114th Congress. I have served here for 9 years. I am proud to be a 
Member, and I look forward to continuing to be a Member in the future.
  In the last 2 months of this year, we have gotten a lot accomplished 
by working together. The omnibus and tax extender bills weren't 
unanimous, but they got a majority of each caucus. I was proud to 
support each. We got a transportation and an education bill passed, 
which was very important.
  This House does work. It worked under Speaker Ryan, working with 
Leader Pelosi. I thank all of the leaders and all of the people 
involved in getting these last two bills together and everyone who 
supported them.
  I also thank the people for allowing me to be a Member of this House. 
I am proud to be a Member of the House of Representatives.
