                       IN MEMORY OF GEORGE TILLER

  (Ms. CHU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. CHU. Mr. Speaker, in 1970, Dr. Jack Tiller traveled to a 
convention in Canada with his wife and daughter. Tragically, their 
plane crashed, leaving behind his children, George and Diana.
  George went to Wichita. He cared for a sick grandmother and orphaned 
nephew when they didn't have anyone else. He planned to be a 
dermatologist. Instead, he took over his father's general practice when 
he saw that local patients didn't have anyone else. Soon after, women 
asked him if he would do what his father did. They were desperate women 
who needed reproductive control over their lives. George said yes.
  Now you know why George Tiller began the career that cost him his 
life, because he decided he would be there for women facing a crisis 
when they didn't have anyone else.
