  LOVE NOTE TO MADISON AND HARRISON SCALISE AND SPEEDY RECOVERY TO ALL

  (Ms. SPEIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I, too, want to join with all of my 
colleagues in recognizing the heroism of David Bailey and Crystal 
Griner, wishing them a speedy recovery, and that they take time to 
recover emotionally as well.
  I also want to extend a love note to the children of Steve Scalise. 
This is a love note to Madison and Harrison:
  Father's Day is on Sunday, and I know for both of you it is going to 
be really difficult because dad is in the hospital, and you are 
concerned about his well-being. He loves you very much, and he is 
beloved here in this Chamber. Know that he will recover. He will be 
able to read with you and play ball with you. And what he needs most 
from you on this Father's Day is just to have you there, to hug him, 
and to love him, and to kiss him, and to know that he is the best dad 
in the world.
  God bless you both.
