Mr. Speaker. it is with a great deal of sadness that I join with my colleagues in remembrance of my close and personal friend. SIL CONTE. He was one of the most colorful and senior Members of the House. and I. like many others in this body and across the country. will truly miss him. The son of Italian Immigrants and himself a former factory worker. SIL rose from his humble beginnings to become one of our countrys most powerful men. For all that he became. however. he was never one to take himself too seriously. No one enjoyed and loved life more than SIL.
