              HONORING THE LIFE OF LESLIE WITT REICHENBACH

  (Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Leslie 
Witt Reichenbach, an important and respected member of the Chicago 
community. For nearly 40 years, she woke up generations of Chicago's 
WXRT listeners on weekend mornings.
  Leslie, often called ``the overnight angel,'' was known for her kind 
smile and her ability to connect with others. She embodied the heart of 
our city with her enthusiasm for radio and her strong dedication to her 
WXRT listeners. Her contributions to the Chicago community changed 
countless lives and will continue to do so for generations.
  Sadly, in July, Leslie passed away after her courageous battle with 
ovarian cancer. Leslie bravely fought her illness by listening to new 
albums, attending concerts, and practicing ballet.
  Leslie's top priority was always her family. The love and support 
they provided her was the most important thing in her life. She is 
survived by her husband, Chuck, and their children, Kay and Kurt.
  As this is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, I ask that her 
memory not be forgotten and that we appropriately fund the critical 
research necessary.
