             MOMENT OF SILENCE HONORING M. CALDWELL BUTLER

  (Mr. GOODLATTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, our Nation has lost a true public 
servant. Congressman Caldwell Butler, who represented the Sixth 
Congressional District of Virginia from 1972 to 1983, passed away last 
night. He will be remembered for many things, including his sharp legal 
mind and an integral role in the Watergate investigation and the Nixon 
impeachment proceedings.
  A genuine family man, he treasured his wife, June, and their four 
sons. I am especially thankful to have served as a member of his staff 
many years ago and to serve the same Sixth District today. My thoughts 
and prayers are with the Butler family during this difficult time.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me and members of the 
Virginia delegation in a moment of silence in honor and in the memory 
of M. Caldwell Butler.
