                  HONORING DR. MARGRETTA MADDEN STYLES

  (Mr. McNERNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McNERNEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to 
join me in honoring the life of Dr. Margretta Madden Styles.
  Born on March 19, 1930, in Mount Union, Pennsylvania, Dr. Styles 
found her life's calling in promoting quality nursing. She served as 
the president of the American Nurses Association, the International 
Council of Nurses, and the California Board of Registered Nursing.
  Dr. Styles helped create the American Nurses Credentialing Center, 
which today is the Nation's leader in accreditation of continuing 
nursing education. Her work on training nurses and advancing our 
Nation's nursing accreditation process is unparalleled. Her legacy 
lives on every day through the thousands of certified nurses in the 
United States, the patients they treat, and the lives they save.
  For these reasons I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the 
memory of Dr. Margretta Madden Styles and in sending our thoughts and 
prayers to her beloved family and friends.
