                         HONORING TERRY BRIGGS

  (Ms. BUSH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BUSH. Madam Speaker, St. Louis and I rise in honor of the life 
and legacy of Bridgeton, Missouri, mayor, Terry Briggs.
  Mayor Briggs was a loving husband, father, and dedicated public 
servant. As a three-term mayor of Bridgeton in St. Louis County, he 
cared deeply about his community and those in it.
  One issue we worked together on was the cleanup of Manhattan Project 
waste dumped in Westlake Landfill and surrounding areas. Together, we 
fought not only for the cleanup of this waste but also for compensation 
for those impacted.
  Mayor Briggs was also a champion for the rights of those living with 
disabilities. He worked to ensure that everyone was treated with 
dignity and given the resources to thrive through his service on the 
Productive Living Board, Special Olympics Board, Special School 
District Board of Education, and the Municipal League of Metro St. 
Louis.
  Mayor Briggs was deeply loved, and his legacy will live on through 
the lives he has touched. My heart goes out to Mayor Briggs' family and 
friends and all of Bridgeton. May he rest in peace.
