Outgoing Speaker Paul Ryan will say Wednesday that under his watch, the US House of Representatives "made a great and lasting difference in the trajectory of this country" in his farewell address at the Library of Congress, a final capstone in a series of events marking his departure after more than two decades on Capitol Hill.
"We have taken on some of the biggest challenges of our time, and made a great and lasting difference in the trajectory of this country," Ryan is expected to say, according to excerpts of his speech provided in advance by his office.
Ryan is also expected to acknowledge both the difficulties of the state of US politics as well as recognize areas he fell short of his own goals.
"I acknowledge plainly that my ambitions for entitlement reform have outpaced the political reality and I consider this our greatest unfinished business," Ryan says in the excerpts, also adding, "The state of politics these days is another question, and frankly one I don't have an answer for."
