                    HONORING ``SUPER'' COOPER BUSCH

  (Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a constituent from 
the 22nd District of New York, Cooper Busch, better known as Super 
Cooper.
  Cooper Busch of Chenango Bridge, a spunky, fearless, and loving 4-
year-old, an incredible fighter, born with Down syndrome, Cooper was 
diagnosed in November of 2016 with acute myeloid leukemia.

  On Sunday, May 6, sadly, sweet Cooper passed away. Cooper is survived 
by his parents, Tara and Steve; his brother, Cole; and his sister, 
Hope.
  In Cooper's last month, he received a surprise total bedroom 
makeover, he threw out the first pitch for the Rumble Ponies, and he 
dropped the puck for the Binghamton Devils.
  Volunteers organized fundraisers, sent in meals for the Busch family, 
and sold Super Cooper t-shirts. A local artist even wrote and 
illustrated a special book called, ``Super Cooper Saves the Day.''
  Our condolences are with the entire Busch family during this very 
difficult time. Cooper's enduring spirit and bravery are an inspiration 
to all of us. Super Cooper's smile, lovable personality, and his zeal 
to live each day to the fullest, no matter how challenging, no matter 
how much time we may be allotted on this very dear Earth, will be his 
eternal legacy to all of us.
  May Super Cooper rest in peace.
