8:53 pm
his people, his district, the state, and the country, and especially those in need, especially the sick. as a diabetic, he fought to lower the cost of insulin. he wrote the removing barriers to colorectal screening act and compassion act to provide full coverage for p.a.d. to help reduce amputations. his test for lead act was designed to protect children from lead contaminated drinking water in schools and he wrote the homeland security interoperable act that became law in 2015. as chairman and ranking member of the house railroads, pipelines and hazardous material subcommittee, he helped lead the charge to improve america's infrastructure and played a key role in securing the gateway project and was a powerful ally of amtrak. donald payne served two terms on the new york city council, including as his president, and beginning in 2005, three terms assets ex-county free holder,
8:54 pm
which we now call commissioner. donald payne jr. will be deeply missed. i'd like to yield to my good friend and colleague, mr. pallone, for any comments he would have. mr. pallone: thank you, chris. chris really laid out all the great accomplishments of don payne in terms of what he accomplished here, which was so much as a member of congress. but i just want to talk a little bit about the man. i think that many of us know don for his trademark bow tie, his big smile, and his friendly demeanor. more than a member of new jersey's congressional delegation, he was a part of our family, and he affectionately called me uncle frank. he used his time here to improve the lives and health of new jerseyans and americans with so many things that chris smith mentioned, but don was always struggling with health issues from the day he came here.
8:55 pm
i don't know many of you knew that. but it never stopped him from his work from voting. so many times in the past year, we had very close votes, and he would always show up if there was any way possible. and also, doing special orders, he had the record for most special orders in several years. if you look over there in seat number one where democrats would sit if they wanted to line up for special orders, you'd see the flowers and the morning cloak. he was always the first one to come down. and i think a lot of you maybe didn't realize how uncomfortable he was when he was sick. but he always took the time to ask how you were doing. if i would go up to him and say donald, how are you feeling today, he would say fine, just move on, but say how are you doing, frank? how do you feel? how is the family? he just made you feel like he was your friend. and it didn't matter whether you were democrat or republican or where you were from.
8:56 pm
so i do want to join chris in mentioning his wife beatrice and children, he had triplets, donald iii, jack, and yvonne who want to honor his legacy and service to our state and our country. but i just want to say in closing to don, uncle frank says goodbye. but you will certainly not be forgotten by any of us. and with that i yield back to chris smith. mr. smith: i would ask everyone to join us in a moment of silent prayer for our deceased colleague.
