                        HONORING MORGAN WILLIAMS

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to honor and 
remember Mr. Morgan Williams, a remarkable red, white, and blue patriot 
who loved freeholder agriculture and its connection to liberty.
  An experienced agriculturalist with a deep passion for farming, 
Morgan was a friend and tireless advocate for U.S.-Ukraine relations. 
For the last four decades of his life, he devoted himself halfway 
around our world to developing the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation and Business 
Council, profoundly influencing the growth and strength of business 
ties between our two nations.
  He understood the precious potential of Ukraine to our world. He also 
compassionately assembled the largest collection of artworks about 
Stalin's forced famine in Ukraine in the last century, the Holodomor, 
in which millions upon millions upon millions of innocents perished.
  He was a fervent supporter of Ukrainian culture and history. He was 
one of a kind.
  Morgan's efforts and love for Ukraine have left an indelible mark, 
and his absence leaves a great void in many hearts. We honor his memory 
and commitment to liberty and his understanding of the land freely held 
or not

freely held, and when not freely held, how permanent serfdom locks 
down.
  May his legacy inspire us all to strive for a free and prosperous 
Ukraine.
  Rest in peace, Morgan. Your life has made a difference on planet 
Earth.
