                       Tuesday, November 29, 2016

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I, along with Congresswoman Lois Frankel, 
rise today in memory of Harriet Sol, who passed away on November 20th. 
Her strength of character and her ever-outgoing and optimistic attitude 
is greatly missed by her loved ones and all who knew her.
  From the man she met on a Northeast train who eventually became her 
husband to the many recipients of her charity work, Harriet made an 
impact on everyone she met.
  Harriet never shied away from a new challenge to help others. Upon 
retirement, she and her husband Ed settled into life in Delray Beach, 
where her selfless efforts fundraising for the Andy Roddick Foundation 
for Children in Distress and for the local National Football League 
chapter charity earned her the ``Volunteer of the Year'' award at the 
Lakes of Delray.
  As vice president of the United South County Democratic Club and an 
active volunteer for the Palm Beach County Democratic Club, Harriet was 
known as a passionate activist and outreach expert.
  Harriet worked hard to better our community, and we have lost a great 
friend and mentor. It was an honor to have known her and to have 
represented her in the United States Congress.
