                       REMEMBERING MOON LANDRIEU

  (Mr. CARTER of Louisiana asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, today, I am honored to remember 
a groundbreaking public servant, personal mentor, and inspiring New 
Orleanian, the Honorable Moon Landrieu, mayor of the city of New 
Orleans.
  A son, father, husband, grandfather, brother, and lawyer, Moon 
Landrieu first served in the Louisiana House of Representatives in 1960 
and next on the New Orleans City Council. He was elected mayor of the 
city of New Orleans from 1970 to 1978, served as U.S. Secretary of 
Housing and Urban Development from 1979 to 1982, and was a circuit 
court judge.
  Throughout his career, he fought for equality and justice, opposing 
Jim Crow legislation and successfully outlawing segregation in public 
accommodations, standing as a shining light during our Nation's darkest 
times.
  He passed away on September 5, but the Honorable Moon Landrieu and 
his indelible impact will never be forgotten in our world.
