MOMENT OF SILENCE IN MEMORY OF THE HONORABLE JAMES BROYHILL
(Mr. BISHOP of North Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. BISHOP of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to gather
with other Members of the North Carolina delegation on the floor this
evening to acknowledge the passing of a great North Carolinian, the
Honorable Jim Broyhill, who passed away at the age of 95 last week.
Today, there was a gathering in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in
celebration of his life, and my fellow Members and I have come to the
floor this evening to ask the House to stand in a moment of silence in
recognition of the service of this North Carolinian, who served 23
years in this House, served briefly in the United States Senate, and
was substantially responsible for re-creating political competition and
a revitalized Republican Party in the State of North Carolina.
On behalf of the North Carolina delegation, I ask the House do now
observe a moment of silence in honor of Senator Jim Broyhill.
