                    PAYING TRIBUTE TO MARGARET DAVIS

  (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, I rise to pay tribute to an 
outstanding nurse practitioner who is a dear friend of mine, who passed 
away a few days ago. Her name is Margaret Davis, and people would often 
ask if she was a relative, and I would always say: No, but I wish that 
she was.
  She was, indeed, one of the most effective nurses I have ever known 
during my lifetime. She was also one of the most intellectual persons I 
have ever known.
  So we simply express condolences to her family and friends and cite 
her work as president of the Black Nurses Association in the city of 
Chicago.
  Margaret, you have done well. Rest in peace.
