         MOMENT OF SILENCE HONORING CONGRESSMAN SONNY CALLAHAN

  (Mr. CARL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join my Alabama 
colleagues in honoring and remembering the incredible life of 
Congressman Sonny Callahan. Sonny Callahan, better known as just 
``Sonny'' in the district, served Alabama's First Congressional 
District in Washington for 18 years and lived a life devoted to public 
service.
  Before his time in Congress, Sonny joined the United States Navy and 
served in the Alabama legislature. Sonny was a true statesman, and his 
service to our State and to our Nation was unmatched.
  For many years, Sonny was a close friend and a mentor of not only 
myself, but everyone that knew him. Although Sonny is no longer with 
us, his legacy and his impact will live on forever.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that all Members present rise for a moment of 
silence in honor of the late Sonny Callahan.
