                       TRIBUTE TO ANNE NOEL FAZIO

  (Mr. LEWIS of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I come to the House floor to 
share some sad news with our colleagues this morning. Anne Noel Fazio, 
the youngest daughter of our good friend and colleague, Vic Fazio, died 
on Sunday after a 9-year battle with leukemia. She was 22.
  As many of you know, Anne was a fighter. When faced with the most 
difficult circumstances, this courageous woman forced her energy on 
living. She never gave up.
  After a successful bone marrow transplant in 1987, Anne graduated 
from C.K. McClatchey High School in 1991. She earned a degree in 
history from the University of California, Davis last year. She also 
served as president of the Tri Delta Sorority.
  Mr. Speaker, I would ask Members to join me in a moment of quiet 
reflection to honor Anne Fazio's memory and to remember our friend Vic 
Fazio and his family during this difficult time.
  Mr. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. LEWIS of California. I yield to the gentleman from California.
  Mr. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the gentleman 
very much for taking the well. He expresses all of our feelings who are 
devastated by Anne's death, and we share in the tragedy that Vic and 
his family are going through today, and we wish them the very, very 
best.
  I thank the gentleman very much for his remarks and for bringing this 
before the House.
