                   HONORING THE LIFE OF ELLIOT BLAIR

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of my 
constituent, Orange County Public Defender Elliot Blair, who passed 
away while celebrating his first anniversary with his wife in Mexico.
  Elliot graduated from Cal State Fullerton and earned his degree in 
law from Loyola Marymount University. Elliot was a devoted public 
servant and advocate for the underserved and underrepresented. He was a 
young attorney, a promising young attorney that was loved by our 
community.
  On the evening of his passing away, he called his mother and he said, 
mom, I am going to have dinner at your favorite restaurant. Those were 
the last words he uttered to his family.
  Elliot will be missed, but he will not be forgotten.
