                       TRIBUTE TO BARBARA JORDAN

  (Ms. JACKSON-LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE. Mr. Speaker, last week this Nation lost an American 
hero. Former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan died on Wednesday, January 
17, 1996. Funeral services were held on January 20, 1996. Joining us in 
Houston were President Bill Clinton, Cabinet members, her former 
colleagues, and current Members of Congress.
  Congresswoman Barbara Jordan was a great American and an outstanding 
public servant. She was an inspiration to us all. Tonight I invite my 
colleagues to join me in a special order tribute to the Honorable 
Barbara Jordan, an American who cherished the Constitution and lived 
its values.
