At this point i would like to recognize mr. Nadler, the chairman of the full committee for remarks on mr. Conyers. Thank you, madam chairperson. Americans across the country are mourning the loss of john conyers today, but nowhere is his loss felt so deeply than here in the Judiciary Committee where he sfefserved for more th0 years as a member of the committee including 20 years either as chairman or Ranking Member.
