on me and i know a number of other of our colleagues on both sides of this aisle and he'll be sorely missed. one thing i'm happy about is that we will continue a lifelong friendship, and i'm looking forward to many, many more opportunities with senator lieberman to work on matters of interest but in order to enjoy a continued sharing of the commonnalities of our judeo-christian faiths. mr. president, i came to the floor before i heard the announcement that apparently we have -- we're closing in, thankfully, on something as yet which i don't have all the details of yet so i can't just simply say, hooray, this is exactly what we ought to do. i think neither side is going to be able to say, "this is exactly what we wanted to do." but in recognition of the fact that we are careening now, hours are ticking, hours away from a devastating impact on americans all across the country, every taxpayer. senator lieberman announced and gave statistics relative to the impact on the average family in his state, and the same is true for indiana and all 50 of our states. to impose the massive tax increases w

to thoughtful, forward-looking service on our nation's long-term competitiveness is going to be sorely missed. but even more, i know many of us will miss his reserved, dignified passion. i had a similar experience, mr. president, with senator herb kohl, my colleague on the judiciary committee. i remember in my first few months there that senator kohl spoke so rarely that when i first heard him speak at an event on the manufacturing extension partnership, one of his passions and mine, i was struck by the power and reach of his voice. it's because he uses it so sparingly. but his example speaks even louder. he never sought the spotlight here but worked tirelessly to make a difference fighting for the little guy on antitrust issues in the judiciary committee. he believes, as do i, that if an american entrepreneur has a great idea, we should help protect that idea by preventing trade secret theft and other intellectual property threats. we also share a deep commitment to the idea that higher education should be more accessible and affordable to every student who wants to pursue it. and i'm honore

he'll be sorely missed. with that, madam speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is, will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 6612. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 of those voting having responded in the affirmative, -- the the gentlewoman from maryland. ms. edwards: madam speaker, i object to the vote on the grounds that a quorum is not present and make a point of order a quorum is not present. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on this motion will be postponed. flops the gentleman from alaska seek recognition? -- for what purpose does the gentleman from alaska seek recognition? mr. young: first, madam speaker, happy new year. i urge the house move and concur in the senate amendment to h.r. 443. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 443, an act to provide for the conveyance of certain property from the united states to

a promise of life ahead of him who brought joy to his family and to his community and will be sorely missedd as his older brother said, he could have been anything if he would have grown older. it's a tragedy of epic proportions and we have no answers for this. >> two more funerals are scheduled here in newtown tomorrow. >> the governor attended one today? >> yeah. the governor said that you try to feel their pain, but you can't. that words are inadequate and the little coffins are heart breaking and he said the shootings on friday could lead to a change in gun laws. >> there really are no words to describe what it's like to see these parents as i did on friday, last night going from room to room, and then again with respect to noah's parents today. >> the governor says this coming friday at 9:30 a.m., the entire state of connecticut will observe a moment of silence and every house of worship is being asked to toll its bells 26 times for each of the victims killed at sandy hook. >> that school is still closed tonight. what's the plan to get the kids back in class? >> well, as jonathan hunts

that's just one of the reasons why she will be sorely missed. here's another reason, though: kay has fought time and time again to promote tax relief for hardworking texas families. in thehooin the mid-1990's, shed create the so-called homemaker ira to make sure that stay-at-home moms and dads were able to save for their retirement on an equal basis with their counterparts who worked outside the home. i now it is one of her proudest achievements and i'm proud to join with the senator from merrell, senator barbara mikulski, in attempting to rename this ira the kay bailey hutchison spousal ira in her honor, and i hope, mr. president, we can join together and honor senator hutchison by getting that done before we close out our business this year. kay, of course, has always championed the state sales tax deduction, which may not seem like a big deal to others in this carriage carriages but it . but it is a big deal in texas. we don't have a state income tax. but we do pay a state sales tax. and of course kay has also worked to reduce the marriage pe

but i can say that you will sorely be missed. i don't think you can really be replaced. i will say that from the bottom of my heart. oh, yes, there's somebody, we can all be replaced. and there's no question about it. but when it comes to having a man that has patience, that shows the ability to listen and to try to guide members of congress who, whether they be freshmen or senior members, freshmen or senior members, that needed that

i know he will be sorely missed. in particular, my thoughts and prayers goes out to bill's family, including his daughter. i had the distinct pleasure, mr. speaker, for working with bill for the past 23 years and witnessed firsthand the many ways he helped thousands of veterans in florida. i'm also proud to have called him my friend. for the past seven years, bill served as the chair of my military academy nominations board where he helped the next generation of military leaders realize their dream of serving the country they love. for eight years he served on the florida commission on veterans affairs and for the past 27 years, as you've heard, he was the florida of the broward county veterans council. he also led the jewish war veterans and was a member of the americans legion, the disabled american veterans. the list of superlatives is long and shows him the great american he was. he was elected into the broward hall of famer, changed the scope of veterans in the state of florida. he helped bring the nursing home

me and my colleague, senator murray, and for the state of washington, i can tell you he will be sorely missed. you know, we know something about long-term senators in the state of washington and certainly danny inouye and scoop and maggie were all friends. he was also a friend to washington state. he forged a great relationship with scoop and maggie that started when scoop jackson actually championed statehood for hawaii, starting as early as the late 1940's. and he played a key role in supporting it and passing it into the hawaii statehood act. and that is something that danny inouye was so appreciative of and they forged a great relationship. and then senator inouye and senator magnuson were great friends and mentors and i had the opportunity many, many years ago to hear both of them at senator magnuson's house in seattle reminisce about their days together, and some of those stories i can share on the floor and some i couldn't. but they were longtime friends. and the one story that is written about in warren magnuson's biography by shelby scates is a story about how the two of them, both a

as he departs for omaha, he will be sorely missed here in the united states senate. he has always been a loyal and dedicated member of this caucus. even when he was showing loyalty by questioning the wisdom of the party sometimes. he is arguably the most conservative member of the caucus. while there are a few things ben and i disagree on, we agree on almost everything. over the last 12 years, he has been a valued member of the team. he has made many of our accomplishments possible through his dedication to country first and state second. that's how it should be. edwin chapin, an early american preach and poet said no larger duty can be imposed upon those entering the great theater of life than loyalty to those entering their convictions. ben nelson lives by his convictions even if it puts him at odds with his party or his constituents. his highest duty is to his country and his consensus. i was at a retirement party for him a week ago tomorrow, and when it was over, i grabbed ben and we really embraced. i really care a great deal about him. he has made some extremel

somebody i do miss, even to this day, and miss sorely when we lost him at abc just because you're such an important intellectual and editorial influence. peter was a great journalist. i suppose that sounds obvious but that meant that he was skeptic in chief. for abc news, both outside and inside. when i came in he was my chief skeptic. he took me out to lunch and said david, you should understand there's a lot of a lot of us are really doubt that you are taking this seriously. we think you're just sort of punching a ticket on the way through to some other job. and you don't really understand. but he was that way. he was very directive. straight up with a. we started out looking at each other, eyeing each other. i'm really pleased to say we form a very close bond. a sort of on, this is important for people to understand that i do not under appreciated for a link to this. newspeople over time have remarkable bonding because they cover news stories, sometimes in dangerous situations under a lot of pressure with a lot of risk involved, and they form bonds that are very, very deep. and pete

i've fought battles with hen -- with the man, i know his heart and he is going to be sorely missed. he cares so deeply thabt country. such is the lots of people whose country has leadership decided by elections. sometimes good things happen, sometimes they don't but democracy ep sures that a people are governed no better than they deserve. so whether someone liked president reagan or president george h.w. bush or president bill clinton, or president george w. bush or president barack obama, the truth is, at the time they were elected president, we as a nation, overall, got the president we deserved at that time. now, one of the most impressive speeches i've ever heard was given by senator barack obama at the democratic convention, and i love the way he talked about america coming back as one america. not a red america or blue america but america. just one country. and it's one of the things that i drew great hope from on 9/12 delsh 2001 as people of the country -- on 9/12/2001 as people of the country gathered around, as we did in our east texas town, and we all held hands and we sa
