                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                       REMEMBERING SUZANNE SCOTT

 Mr. JOHANNS. Mr. President, Stephanie and I wish to pay 
tribute to the life and legacy of Suzanne ``Sue'' Scott. Sue passed 
away on September 9, 2013. Her husband, Walter, and the entire Scott 
and Singer families remain in our thoughts and prayers during this sad 
time. Her loving family, special circle of friends, and many admirers 
throughout the State of Nebraska and this great Nation are mourning her 
passing and reflecting on her remarkable life of service.
  Sue truly embodied compassion in action, lending her time and talents 
to many community organizations. She leaves behind a wonderful legacy. 
One could list the many brick and mortar improvements attributed to Sue 
and identify them as her legacy. This is true and itself worthy of 
acknowledgement. But, there is a much more profound aspect of her 
legacy. It is the remarkable example of selfless and tireless service 
to others, which will inspire generations to come. She gave of herself: 
not only in name, but in genuine service to others. Sue was not afraid 
to roll up her sleeves and do the real work of volunteering. Her 
remarkable leadership extended to: Children's Hospital & Medical 
Center, Children's Hospital & Medical Center Foundation, Boys & Girls 
Clubs of the Midlands, Omaha Zoological Society, and Joslyn Art Museum, 
among others. With Walter, she delighted in supporting the Kingdoms of 
the Seas Aquarium at the Henry Doorly Zoo and the Recital Hall at the 
Holland Performing Arts Center, bearing their names, in addition to 
numerous other philanthropic contributions. I am confident I speak for 
all Nebraskans in thanking the Scotts--indeed, Sue and Walter made an 
outstanding team--for their commitment to the community and willingness 
to help neighbors in need.
  Thanks to the Scotts, ``The Good Life'' in Nebraska has been made 
even better and will surely remain vibrant for years to come. Sue's 
volunteerism and her can-do attitude will continue to serve as a worthy 
example for others to follow. Though Sue is no longer with us, her 
spirit will surely live on through those who follow her example and 
answer the call to community service and share their time, talents and 
treasure with fellow citizens.
  We are saddened by her passing and wish to again extend our heartfelt 
sympathy to Walter and the Singer and Scott families. May God bless 
them.
