                      PAYING TRIBUTE TO JOHN LEWIS

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Leader Hoyer expressed, I think, everybody's feelings 
about   John Lewis.
  I lost a hero and a friend, a cohort in good trouble, and a 
colleague. It is said, when you come to the House, you sometimes walk 
with giants, rarely do you get to walk with a saint. John Lewis was a 
saint. He was heavenly. He embodied the spirit of Martin Luther King 
and Mahatma Gandhi. He exhibited that in his work, his life, his votes, 
his advice to his colleagues.
  There is no good time to die, but   John Lewis lit a fire that has 
turned into a tremendous blaze, and I am fortunate that I have been 
able to feel the warmth and share it with him.
