                            CARDISS COLLINS

  (Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to 
my predecessor, who came to the House basically as an auditor, an 
accountant, not one who was greatly involved in public activity but 
quickly learned the ways of the House, became chairman of the 
Congressional Black Caucus, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus 
Foundation, and a leading voice in equity for women in sports.
  I lived in the same community that she and her husband lived in, and 
our community is especially proud of the accomplishments of the 
honorable Cardiss Collins.
