                      TRIBUTE TO WARDELL YATAGHAN

  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Wardell Yataghan, a gentleman who recently passed away and was 
president of the Resident Council of Rockwell Gardens, a public housing 
development in Chicago and a founder of the Coalition to Save Public 
Housing.
  Wardell, unfortunately, died too soon, but he gave his life as an 
inspiration and as a light for those who live in public housing. And I 
think as a testament to him, I want to urge that we continue to support 
public housing in the United States.
