Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, I also support H. Res. 1063. This bipartisan bill designates room H-226 in the U.S. Capitol as the Lincoln Room.

As we all know, President Abraham Lincoln is commonly considered one of the greatest President's in the history of the United States. But what you might not know is that President Lincoln, at one point in his career, was a Member of the House of Representatives from the Seventh Congressional District of Illinois.

President Lincoln served one term in Congress, from 1847 to 1849, and was known for his opposition to the institution of slavery and the Mexican-American war. During his short time in Congress, President Lincoln spent a significant amount of his leisure time in the U.S. Capitol room now known as H-226.

This resolution, which names the room for President Lincoln, is an appropriate honor for a former Member of this distinguished body who led our country in one of its darkest hours. So I support the resolution and urge my colleagues to support it as well.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, on December 21, 2018, I was absent from the House and missed rollcall votes 474, 475, and 476.

Had I been present for rollcall 474, on Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H. Res. 1063, Designating room H-226 of the United States Capitol as the ``Lincoln Room'', I would have voted ``Yes.''

Had I been present for rollcall 475, on Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 7318, To amend the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act of 2016 to ensure that the Public Buildings Reform Board has adequate time to carry out the responsibilities of the Board, and for other purposes, I would have voted ``Yes.''

Had I been present for rollcall 476, on Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass H.R. 7319, To amend the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act of 2016 to provide flexibility with respect to the leaseback of certain Federal real property, and for other purposes, I would have voted ``Yes.''

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and agree to the resolution (H. Res. 1063) designating room H-226 of the United States Capitol as the ``Lincoln Room''.

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on H. Res. 1063.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, H. Res. 1036 designates the room H-226 of the U.S. Capitol as the Lincoln Room.

I appreciate my colleagues' work on this and find it an appropriate honor for such a distinguished leader of our country.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this resolution, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 474, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 475 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 476.
