               A TRIBUTE TO THE HONORABLE SUSAN MOLINARI

  (Mrs. Lowey asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to join with my colleagues; 
and not really delighted, I would say to the gentlewoman from New York, 
Ms. Susan Molinari, but we want to wish the gentlewoman lots of good 
luck and success. I am not sure who I am going to miss more, Susan 
Molinari or Susan Ruby, because she clearly cheers up all our days. 
From one mother to another mother, I can tell you we are going to miss 
you both.
  Susan and I have been fighting together on so many issues for the 
years I have been here, whether it is fighting to keep those planes in 
New Jersey away from New York, and I am going to have to call you, 
Susan, for some reinforcement. We just keep sending these planes back 
and forth, but we are going to make sure that they are not flying over 
Staten Island while you are away. We are going to make sure we continue 
to fight to make sure that our transportation in New York serves all 
the people of all of our districts.
  The gentlewoman has been right there on the front line. Whether it is 
fighting together on Ellis Island, one thing after another, Susan is 
there to fight for New York. I know we are going to work very hard, 
Susan, to make sure that the battles continue in support of all the 
issues that we care about.
  So we wish you good luck, with lots of love and admiration and 
support. You have always stood up for the right things, and I have been 
honored to be there with you.
