  Mr. CARTER of Louisiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember and 
mourn constituent, activist, public servant, lawyer, businesswoman and 
dear friend, Cheryl Teamer. She died this weekend at the age of 58.
  A native of New Orleans, she earned her law degree at Tulane 
University and worked to get things done in City Hall in Mayor Marc 
Morial's administration.
  She then worked in government relations and founded her own 
consultancy and advising firm.
  We all knew her for her incredible ability to multitask 20 different 
things at the same time, and to do it with a sense of joy.
  She built relationships and bridges between people of all backgrounds 
and walks of life.
  She loved to be in the thick of it--whatever was happening.
  Cheryl Teamer was accomplished, kind, big-hearted and rooted in the 
New Orleans community.
  She will be deeply missed. Rest easy, my friend.
