                  RECOGNIZING THE HONORABLE SUE MYRICK

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
North Carolina (Mr. Bishop) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. BISHOP of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, today I rise to 
recognize former U.S. Representative Sue Myrick who has a landmark 
birthday this Sunday.
  Congresswoman Myrick served the people of North Carolina's Ninth 
Congressional District from 1995 to 2013. Before that, Sue made history 
in 1987 when she scored a major upset against a two-term Democrat to 
become the first female mayor of Charlotte. Importantly, before 
politics, Sue was known for her faith life as a Sunday school teacher 
and private sector career as an advertising executive.
  In Congress for the Ninth District, Sue was a notable and effective 
conservative chairing the Republican Study Committee. Protecting 
America from foreign threats and securing our border defined her 
congressional career. As important, she was and is kind and caring, and 
she provided legendary constituent service. I am honored to serve in 
her place today and fondly remember her campaign slogan: We need Sue 
Myrick in Congress because ``Sue Myrick gets things done.''
  Happy birthday to Sue.
