PAYING TRIBUTE TO ROSALYNN CARTER
(Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I
rise to pay tribute and honor the activities of the great First Lady,
the first that I ever had the opportunity to know, and that is First
Lady Rosalynn Carter, who was funeralized earlier today.
As a young activist, as we organized and tried to organize community
health centers and community mental health centers, along with us was
First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who was often at the meetings. Sometimes,
she wouldn't say anything. She would take notes.
Not only did we have a friend in the White House in President Carter,
but we also had a great friend and advocate in the person of First Lady
Rosalynn Carter.
May she rest in peace.
