                HONORING THE LIFE OF MADELEINE ALBRIGHT

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, today, former Secretary Madeleine 
Albright was funeralized at the National Cathedral.
  I rise today to pay tribute to a great American and a woman who 
exuded confidence and knowledge of worldwide diplomacy. She was 
appointed by President Clinton and became a champion for women's rights 
around the world.
  I remember meeting her on the border of Bangladesh, meeting with 
young girls who had just been trafficked and returned to their native 
land. How empathetic she was to these young girls who had been 
traumatized and were Bangladesh citizens.
  I understand, as well, that she cared about ensuring that human 
rights was heard around the world. She was a fighter against anti-
Semitism because of the history of her own life and family, fleeing 
Europe during that time.
  As we stand against the ideals of hatred and anti-Semitism, we stand 
in honor of former Secretary Madeleine Albright.
  May she rest in peace, and may her legacy be one of worldwide 
diplomacy, the rights of women, peace, and solutions to hatred. We 
never hope to have hatred in this land and in this world. May she rest 
in peace and rest in power.
