                        HONORING LIANE DOUGHERTY

  (Mr. ROSE of New York asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ROSE of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay respect and 
honor to my great teacher, Liane Dougherty. Mrs. Dougherty passed away 
on December 5, 2019. She taught me in history class more than 20 years 
ago at Poly Prep, where she was a mentor. She is survived by her 
husband, Francis, and her children, Max and Sophie.
  Her students recall--myself included--that, each and every day, she 
would approach the classroom with grace, compassion, incredible wisdom 
and intellect. I can say without a doubt, I would not be a Congressman 
today without Mrs. Dougherty.
  There is only one person in all of America being honored on the floor 
of the United States House of Representatives today, and that is Liane 
Dougherty. She is deserving of that, the best teacher I could ever ask 
for.
  Madam Speaker, may she rest in peace. We will always honor her 
incredible legacy.
