 MOURNING THE PASSING OF ROBERT N. BROWN, COLUMBUS, INDIANA, NEWSPAPER 
                               PUBLISHER

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, today the city of Columbus, Indiana, bid 
farewell to one of its great sons, Robert N. Brown. Robert N. Brown was 
born 83 years ago in the city of Columbus. During the course of his 
lifetime, he was a publisher of newspapers, a founder of newspapers, a 
World War II veteran who went ashore on Omaha Beach on D-Day Plus 3, 
the proud father of four and grandfather to many, many more in our 
community. It was my privilege to offer the eulogy today at First 
Christian Church in Columbus, Indiana.
  I rise today to offer my condolences to the family and to the 
community at his loss. May he and his family feel the peace of Christ 
in this time of loss.
