               BEST WISHES TO PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH

  (Mr. AL GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, when I was first elected to 
office, I had the preeminent privilege of meeting with a President of 
the United States of America. It was one of the most rewarding and 
gratifying meetings that I have had.
  At that meeting, we talked about many things. One of the things that 
I walked away from the meeting with was a sense and spirit of 
bipartisanship and how important it was to be able to work with people 
across lines.
  I am honored to tell you that that President was George Bush 41. I 
understand that he has suffered an injury. I want him, his family, and 
all to know that I will keep them in my prayers as they move forward. 
He recently celebrated a birthday, and I wish him many, many more 
birthdays.
  God bless you, President Bush, and God bless the United States of 
America.
