           CONDOLENCES TO THE HONORABLE LOIS CAPPS AND FAMILY

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute, and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Madam Speaker, I would like to rise on this day, while 
many of our colleagues are participating in a service for former 
Speaker Albert, to take this time to extend my condolences to our 
colleague, the gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Capps) and her family 
members.
  Obviously, they have gone through a real struggle, with the tragic 
death of our former colleague, Walter Capps, not long ago, and now the 
loss of their daughter Lisa, a young woman 35 years of age, a professor 
in California, who is the mother of two young children. And I would 
simply like to say that during this very difficult time, I know that 
our colleagues would join in extending our condolences to the family 
members.
  Last night I spoke to a close friend of the family's who said that, 
obviously, they are dealing with a very difficult situation; and I 
would simply like to say that personally my thoughts and prayers are 
with the family members, and I certainly wish them well as they deal 
with this great challenge.
