                         HONORING DOROTHY JONES

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Dorothy 
Jones, a long-time resident of Detroit's 48217 community.
  I first met Ms. Dorothy Jones in 2008. She was very active in her 
local block club. She was passionate about the right to breath clean 
air and stood up against corporate polluters like Marathon Petroleum 
Refinery. Ms. Jones was never a person to shy away from a challenge, 
and she always accepted nothing less than the best for her family, 
friends, and her neighborhood.
  I am honored to have known Ms. Jones for more than 10 years. She 
would take me to task on important issues, which I always welcomed and 
for which I was better for it. I am grateful for her engagement on 
these issues that affect the quality of life for so many residents in 
the 13th Congressional District. It is truly an honor to have known her 
and served Ms. Jones. We honor her memory and her surviving family 
members.
