                 REMEMBERING LOUISE McINTOSH SLAUGHTER

  (Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, during this 115th session of Congress, the 
House lost one of its most passionate souls, the late Representative 
Louise McIntosh Slaughter.
  She worked day in and day out with great passion and with great 
integrity. She understood that it was about trust that was placed into 
a Member of Congress by the people who have chosen you to be their 
voice here in Congress.
  To Louise Slaughter it was important to make certain that government 
was transparent and accountable, so she drove the Stop Trading On 
Congressional Knowledge Act, which was dubbed the STOCK Act. I am so 
proud to have sponsored legislation today that has renamed, in her 
honor, the STOCK Act.
  Louise Slaughter worked for transparency in this House. She knew that 
it was about making lives of the constituents that we represent all the 
stronger and all the fuller and not enriching our own lives by the 
trust placed in us.
  It is an honor to rename the STOCK Act because of her hard work and 
because of her integrity.
