                  CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF MURRAY SAVAR

  (Ms. HOULAHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HOULAHAN. Madam Speaker, I rise for the indefatigable, musical, 
mystical, magical Mr. Murray Savar.
  Murray, you have been the pied piper for more than 40 years--two 
generations--for our community's young women and girls. Students have 
been entranced by you and have literally found their voice and their 
agency under your spell.
  You are priceless. Your life is an exemplar of the impact that one 
person, one teacher, can have on hundreds and thousands of lives, an 
impact that you have had by joyfully meeting the mundane world where we 
are with a song every single day. Southeastern Pennsylvania is so lucky 
that you have called it home for so many years.
  I am here--just one person--standing in on behalf of more than four 
decades of parents and students in our community.
  To quote a song that you taught generations to love, I say, ``Thank 
you for the music, for giving it to me.''
  Murray, your community loves you and wishes you Godspeed.
