                             FRANK CUSHING

  (Mr. LEWIS of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, our Capitol Hill community has 
endured a great loss this week with the passing of our dear friend, 
Frank Cushing. Frank passed away early Monday morning after a year-long 
battle with cancer. He was 59 years old.
  Frank Cushing left his mark on public policy through more than 30 
years of public service in the House and the Senate.
  For those people who understand just how important fine staff are to 
our ability in the House and the Senate to more effectively serve our 
public, I know of no public servant who has greater respect in this 
community, indeed, around the country, than Frank Cushing.
  We will be holding a memorial service commemorating Frank's work on 
our behalf next Monday at 3 p.m. The details regarding that service 
will be in the Congressional Record. I urge all Members who know and 
love Frank Cushing to come together and focus upon his service.
