Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning. Mr. Speaker, as we carry out the business of this House, it is important to keep in mind our constituents and families back home. Therefore, I wish to take this opportunity to pass on Valentine's Day greetings to my wife Betty and my family back home and thank them for their continued support while I am away from home. Special Valentine's greetings to my granddaughter Kelsey.

---Applause
