                 CHAIRWOMAN JUANITA MILLENDER-McDONALD

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the order of the House of 
January 4, 2007, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Al Green) is recognized 
during morning hour debates for 1 minute.
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, first allow me to please say amen 
to the words of the Honorable Maxine Waters.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the superlative life of a superb 
woman, the Honorable Juanita Millender-McDonald. Indeed, she was a 
devoted wife, a loving mother, a superior scholar, a preeminent 
educator, and a powerful legislator.
  Notwithstanding all of this, Mr. Speaker, she had a positive air and 
a special flair. She was a pillar of probity. Her integrity was beyond 
reproach. She was a repository of respect. Her mere presence commanded 
respect. She was the queen of self-esteem. She was comely, courtly and 
stately with a positive personality.
  We were truly blessed to have her among us, she will surely be missed 
by us, and I thank God for her.
