        CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS

  (Mr. MAZZOLI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MAZZOLI. Mr. Speaker, words which are always associated with the 
late Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis are style, elegance and grace, and 
intelligence, and indeed, Mrs. Kennedy Onassis did exhibit all of those 
traits admirably through her public life, and then in more recent years 
in her private life.
  But there is another word that could be associated with her and 
should be, and that is the word ``courage.'' She showed estimable 
courage in 1963 when many of us watched on television as she organized 
and presided over the funeral of her husband, the assassinated 
President of our land. She also showed courage in recent months when 
she fought her lymphoma with nobility.
  Ultimately it succeeded in killing her. but I think all of us can 
learn from the lessons which she and her family have taught us, and we 
take this opportunity to extend condolences to the children, to the 
grandchildren and to the family.
