last week, the first speaker in line at my town hall was susan perry, you wouldn't know it at first but susan has difficulty speaking. mr. subram yam -- mr. subramanyam: she was the first person to speak and i could hear her loud and clear and honored she'll be my guest at the joint address. we should hear her voice. she's a retired education teacher from fauquier county and her husband is worried about his retirement benefits getting cut and her son hassistic fibrosis and benefited from -- hassistic fibrosis and benefited from the funds. susan's fight gives me hope we can make our voices heard and fight for change. don't underestimate susan or the american people. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from new york seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you very much. i'd like to honor the life of j. roger rice, a devoted husband, father
