COMMEMORATING THE SERVICE TO THE UNITED STATES OF THE HON. HENRY HYDE -- (House of Representatives - December 07, 2006)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I want to, first of all, thank my colleagues, Representatives KIRK and SHIMKUS from Illinois, for giving us the opportunity to take this moment to pay tribute and commend the life, the work, and I would even extend to the point of saying the legacy, of Chairman HENRY HYDE.

As a matter of fact, HENRY's district is next door to mine. His district is number six. Mine is number seven. And oftentimes I find myself in his community, in his neighborhood. And I sometimes go to an eating establishment, that is a restaurant, where he is a legend. And generally every time I go in there, someone is exploiting and extolling the virtues of HENRY HYDE, and they are talking about they remember the time when HENRY did this, HENRY did that. I agree with Representative Shimkus that although ideologically bent, HENRY has always been a gentleman and a scholar, a true gentleman and a pleasant person to work with. I am delighted to have served with him, wish him well, and know that we are still going to bump into each other occasionally in that great restaurant where he likes to eat.

Have a good time, HENRY. We look forward to seeing you.
