      MOMENT OF SILENCE IN REMEMBRANCE OF SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN

  (Ms. PELOSI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I rise for the purpose of speaking with 
great sadness and emotion about the loss of our great Senator, our 
senior Senator from California, Senator Dianne Feinstein.
  I do so, as I say, personally, as a friend, neighbor, and fellow San 
Franciscan. All of us do so with great pride as the great Senator she 
has been to our State, and the longest serving woman Senator from 
California.
  She came here with Barbara Boxer, she stayed on, and she left on her 
own terms. She was the first woman mayor of San Francisco, coming into 
office under sad circumstances but leading us with great dignity, with 
great effectiveness, and with great leadership.
  Much more will be said about it. We will have so much time to talk 
and brag about Dianne Feinstein. Her legacy will be a long one that we 
will all be inspired by. However, today, at this time, just hours since 
her passing, rather than talk about her, let us just pray that she 
rests in peace.
  In that regard, Mr. Speaker, I ask that all present in the Chamber, 
as well as Members and staff throughout the Capitol, please rise for a 
moment of silence and in remembrance of the late Honorable Senator 
Dianne Feinstein.
