Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to the long
and distinguished career of Congressman Henry Waxman.

Congressman Waxman's career speaks for itself. He has been at the
forefront of many of the most important legislative and policy battles
of the past four decades. From combating Big Tobacco to championing the
Affordable Care Act, Henry has been an indispensable voice in the
House. It was an honor to serve with him and I commend his long and
storied career.

I had the privilege of serving alongside Congressman Waxman on the
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. During our time together
on the Oversight Committee, we focused on investigations into cost
overruns and money wasted on reconstruction in Iraq.

Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring the service of Congressman
Henry Waxman in the United States House of Representatives.
