Speaker The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Lehigh, Mr. Zeller. Mr. ZELLER. Mr. Speaker, if I am not correct-maybe Mr. Hayes can help us on this-does this not do the same thing as v' Mr. Klingaman's hill? If we run one in the House and run one in the Senate-Oh, it does not? I thought it did. I stand corrected. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The bill is temporarily held over. The Chair wishes to thank the Speaker of the House for letting me temporarily preside over the House. I wish to remind the House, unforunately , I have chosen the course to run for the Senate and I will not be back here. But when I was sworn into this House on June 15. 1970. and Mr. Irvis was the majority leader, again let me reflect on the words that he had said to me when I first took my seat. He had said to me, "At no time in your life, Mr. Katz, will you ever associate yourself with a finer group of men than those in the House of Representatives." I would like you to all know that the 9 years in this House have been very good to me, and I believe that no matter what I am reading in the papers today, there is a 'ne group of people who sit in the House and Senate. I also would like to say to you that it has been a pleasure being here. I am sorry I am leaving this House, and I am sure and I am going to remember each and every one of you, no matter how far I go in politics. Thank you very much for letting me preside.
