TIM RUSSERT EXHIBIT
(Mr. HIGGINS asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, since 2008, the ``Inside Tim Russert's
Office'' exhibit has been on display at the Newseum here in Washington,
D.C. This week the exhibit is in the process of relocating to the
Buffalo History Museum in western New York.
This unique mix of personal and professional pieces of Tim's life
will represent a homecoming, as he was born, raised, and began his
career in Buffalo, New York. Even after moving to Washington, D.C., he
never forgot his hometown and his dedication to his beloved Buffalo
Bills. Whether working in politics or in journalism, Tim Russert made
western New York proud as he exemplified the values that he learned
right in our own community: love of family, faith, community, and
country.
Mr. Speaker, it has been my honor to work with the Russert family,
the Buffalo History Museum, and the Newseum in making this homecoming a
reality. We eagerly await the debut of this expanded exhibit in the
fall, including additional pieces that reflect Tim's south Buffalo
roots and the story of Buffalo, the city he never forgot.
