walden: i thank the speaker. and this is a tough night for those of us on the energy and commerce committee. we pay honor to our staff director ray balm who passed a fight against cancer. he left this world on february 9. unexpectedly and many respects, he left before we were ready but not before he filled us with love and grace and kindness. shared his intellect and his great humor. i got to know ray in 1988. i know you don't know, this is me on the right, i had hair. we were both elected to the legislature. i don't know about you all, but you meet people and you don't remember 30 years later, but with ray, i remembered him. state representative from le grand decided not to run and announcing pretty late in the process and i happened to be in salem at the capital when he brought this young attorney out of the grand, ray balm and said i'm not going to run and he's my guy. ray and i were both candidates in 1988. in the er we both ran seat that our fathers had held and in different air as. his dad already had the v
