Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am going to go home, see my
wife, Valerie, and my son, Evan, and take a holiday and
re-energize myself. I look forward to seeing you all next
January.
Thank you very much.
REMARKS BY SPEAKER CORBETT
Speaker Corbett offered the following remarks:
Well to my colleagues, or should I say my friends, I want to
thank you for your services here, your work this year, your
dedication to the state of Iowa, and your commitment to making
the future of this state bright. I want to thank you
Representative Schrader for your cooperation. As one of those
members who has had a chance to serve in the minority, I
appreciate and understand the role and the impact that you have
during this session. So thank you for your cooperation. For
Representative Siegrist, I thank you for your leadership, and
you're lucky we're not meeting in that primary next June. For
all the people who work behind the scenes to keep this House
rolling, thank you very much. There's a natural tendency in
politics to have friction between the two parties. Golda Meir
said, "You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist." It is my
hope that when we walk out of those doors in a few minutes, we
pat each other on the back and share in the successes of this
year. And let's work to build on our joint accomplishments in
setting an agenda for next year. I started off the beginning of
this session quoting a quote I've said, "The greatest work you
will ever do is within the walls of your own home." They call
this place a house, and we've had some great accomplishments
within the walls of this house. But it is not our home, and it's
time to go home. So I wish you all the best and have a great
summer. Thank you for your work.
