                   HONORING LINDA LELIA SUSAN MORONEY

  (Mrs. FLETCHER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. FLETCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Linda 
Lelia Susan Moroney, known to all of us as Muffie, who died recently in 
her home at the age of 77.
  Muffie was born here in Washington, D.C. during World War II, but she 
was raised in and around Houston, and she was a Texan through and 
through. A lawyer by training and an advocate at heart, she fought to 
make our community, our country, and our world, a better place.
  A mother, a lay leader, and a champion, Muffie worked for equality 
for all, dignity for all, and justice for all, especially for women; 
and she did so while treating everyone she met with respect, including 
those who saw things differently.
  Her spirit will live on in her sons, Justin and Robert, in her 
grandchildren, and in the work she did, the groups she organized, the 
causes she championed, and the things that she did for all of us in 
Texas and for all Americans.
