                      Wednesday, February 14, 2007

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep sorrow that I rise to 
remember the life of Charlie Norwood. I know Charlie had an impact on 
everyone that he came into contact with and we are all grieving the 
loss.
  I had the privilege of serving with Charlie on the Energy and 
Commerce Committee. Charlie loved a robust discussion of the issues. He 
loved the ability to debate an idea and he loved espousing his 
conservative beliefs. When his microphone went on in committee, you 
could see the gleam in his eye as he readied for a hearty exchange. His 
love of engaging the issues was appreciated by all his colleagues on 
the Energy and Commerce Committee.
  Charlie was a man of deep conviction and integrity. He will be deeply 
missed, not only by this body but also by his constituents and his 
family.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the life 
and accomplishments of Congressman Charlie Norwood.
