          HONORING THE LIFE OF CONGRESSWOMAN LOUISE SLAUGHTER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROSA L. DeLAURO

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 14, 2019

  Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the late Congresswoman 
Louise Slaughter.
  Today, Democrats are in the Majority. Twenty-eight women are leading 
committees

or subcommittees. And, the issues that Louise championed are moving. We 
are proud to pick up the torch that she left.
  I commit to you, Louise, to fight for antibiotic resistant research, 
for equal pay for equal work--she was the chair of rules when we passed 
Lily Ledbetter--for ethics in government with regards to Supreme Court 
justices, and for trade agreements that work for working people. Louise 
and I fought against NAFTA and the TPP.
  Each of those priorities were Louise's. Now, they are at the 
forefront of our agenda.
  This is Louise Slaughter's majority. We miss her voice in the 
Congress, but we are moving forward with a positive agenda for the 
people. And it is because of her.
  We miss Louise. We love her. And, we thank her.
