  Mr. McDADE. Mr. Speaker, I know that many of my colleagues join me in 
mourning the untimely death of Father James W. Sauve, S.J. on Monday, 
September 23. Father Sauve's passing is mourned by many communities 
around the world including the Society of Jesus, the Association of 
Jesuit Colleges and Universities where he worked as executive director, 
Marquette University, the International Center for Jesuit Education in 
Rome, and the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania.
  Father Sauve's was a nationally recognized leader in Jesuit education 
committed to the absolute best that is achievable for any human being. 
Throughout his life, Father Sauve excelled at scholarship and inspired 
students and colleagues alike.
  His proficiency in six languages allowed him to travel extensively 
throughout the world promoting all levels of Jesuit education.
  In 1975, Father Sauve organized the first worldwide meeting in Rome 
of all presidents of Jesuit colleges and universities. It was the first 
time in the 455 years of Jesuit history that a meeting of this 
magnitude was convened. It focused on the Jesuit mission of service of 
faith and promotion of justice worldwide.
  Father Sauve died unexpectedly of coronary complications at 
Georgetown University Hospital.
  Survivors include his father, Willard F. Sauve, an ordained permanent 
deacon in Two Rivers, WI, his step-mother, and his brother Dudley and 
his family in Farmville, VA.
  The funeral for Father Sauve is scheduled for Friday, September 27 at 
7 p.m. at the Holy Family Chapel followed by an 8 p.m. Mass on 
Marquette University campus in Milwaukee, WI. Burial will be on 
Saturday at the Cemetery of Holy Cross.
  There will also be a memorial service for Father Sauve on Monday, 
September 30 at 7:30 p.m. at Dahlgren Chapel at Georgetown University 
here in Washington. Following the Mass, there will be a reception at 
the Jesuit Community next to the chapel.
