             HONORING THE MEMORY OF SENATOR HARRIS WOFFORD

  (Mr. KENNEDY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Senator 
Harris Wofford, a giant in our Nation's history and a dear friend.
  For decades, at every single inflection point in our Nation's march 
towards equality, Senator Wofford stood proudly and strongly on the 
side of justice and decency. But he wasn't one who could be confined 
only to our shores. Before, during, and after his time in the United 
States Senate, Harris sought out injustice around the world and asked 
how he could help.
  Not only is he an inspiration to any aspiring public servant, he has 
been a close friend to generations of my own family. To his husband, 
Mr. Charlton, his children, Susanne, Daniel, and David, and all of the 
members of his family and friends who loved him so dearly, know that 
our thoughts and prayers are with you and that Harris' memory and our 
Nation will never forget.
