             CONGRATULATING MEMBERS OF ARIZONA LEGISLATURE

  (Mr. BIGGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BIGGS. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to congratulate all the 
Members of the Arizona Legislature who took their oaths of office to 
begin a new term this week.
  The start of each legislative session is exciting: an opportunity to 
keep promises made to constituents and make Arizona a better place to 
work and raise a family.
  As ever, legislators will face challenges that will impact millions 
of Arizonans. I look forward to working with my former colleagues, 
especially those in the east valley, for the benefit of our 
constituents.
  I recognize and give special congratulations to incoming Senate 
President Karen Fann and House Speaker Rusty Bowers. I wish everyone in 
the Arizona Legislature, including staff, a productive legislative 
session in the months to come.
