            HONORING THE LIFE OF CONGRESSMAN CHARLIE NORWOOD

  Mr. GRAHAM. Madam President, I wanted to take this opportunity to say 
a few words about my close friend and colleague who passed away 
yesterday, Congressman Charlie Norwood.
  There is no doubt that with the death of Charlie Norwood the State of 
Georgia has lost one of her favorite sons. We were elected to serve in 
the House of Representatives the same year and represented adjoining 
districts in Georgia and South Carolina.
  Charlie was a dear friend of mine.
  I have never met anyone in politics with more passion about what they 
believe than Charlie Norwood. He was a great representative for the 
people for the people of the 10th district of Georgia, and in his years 
of service he made a real difference in the Congress.
  There is no doubt Charlie's leadership, his wisdom, and his wit will 
be sorely missed.
  Now is the time to keep Charlie's family in our prayers. But we 
should also celebrate a life well-lived. Knowing Charlie Norwood like I 
do, I am confident he would not have wanted it any other way.
