                        Friday, August 12, 2022

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, last week Congress 
experienced a personal loss with the death of Congresswoman Jackie 
Walorski, one of our greatest Members. Many of us lost a dear friend.
  Jackie has been memorialized with extraordinary, deserved tributes. 
Congresswoman Ann Wagner praised, ``Jackie was a no nonsense, get it 
done woman.''
  Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks correctly cited, 
``[Jackie] embodied what it means to be a public servant.'' Republican 
Leader Kevin McCarthy praised her passion, ``empowering children and 
families, running a foundation in Romania . . . fighting for justice 
from fentanyl victims.''
  Republican Whip Steve Scalise praised Jackie for ``her kindness, 
tenacity, and commitment to helping others'' as a valued member of the 
Whip team.
  Ways and Means Republican Leader Kevin Brady thoughtfully stated, 
``God took a special angel home today. Congresswoman Jackie Walorski 
was a happy Hoosier who would light up the room with her joy, passion, 
brilliance, and love of life.''
  I will always cherish leading a delegation with Jackie to Poland 
where her Polish heritage was beloved. She and her husband Dean were a 
great team in helping liberate Eastern Europe for America.
  God Bless our Troops. We will never forget September 11th as the 
Global War on Terrorism continues moving from a safe haven in 
Afghanistan to America.
