                         A NOTE OF REMEMBRANCE

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Madam Speaker, I rise this morning with a note of 
remembrance. Raymond Hall Hayworth, age 98, passed away peacefully 
yesterday. The last teammate of Ty Cobb has now left his earthly field.
  Ray Hayworth wore a major league uniform in parts of 3 decades. His 
career spanned 13 years in the major leagues, first called up in 1926 
to the Tigers.
  For purposes of full disclosure, Madam Speaker, I should note that 
Ray Hayworth was my granddad; and the lessons he taught me, not only 
about sports, but about life, are lessons far more valuable than I can 
express on the floor of this House.
  Our founders said they moved to secure the blessings of liberty for 
themselves and their posterity. In much the same way, my grandfather 
has left a legacy of freedom, as an athlete, as a role model, but, most 
of all, as a man. I was blessed for having his example to guide me.
