                 A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR RHONDA MASSIE

  (Mr. ROY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROY. Mr. Speaker, we were all saddened to learn today of the 
passing of the spouse of one of our Members,   Thomas Massie, the 
gentleman from Kentucky. His wife, Rhonda, of many years--they were 
childhood sweethearts--suddenly passed away yesterday. Mr. Massie had 
to drive home to Kentucky and be home with his family, which is where 
he is today.
  I ask everybody in the Chamber and everybody around the complex to 
please rise and observe a moment of silence and offer your prayers and 
thoughts and condolences for our good friend from Kentucky.
