                   IN HONOR OF PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER

  (Mr. KENNEDY of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KENNEDY of New York. Madam Speaker, a peacemaker, 
environmentalist, and humanitarian, President Jimmy Carter's work left 
an indelible mark on our country and the western New York community.
  He was no stranger to my district, visiting for speeches at the 
University at Buffalo and Canisius University, campaign rallies in 
Cheektowaga and Tonawanda, and even making a stop at Niagara Falls 
State Park while celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary with his 
beloved wife, Rosalynn.
  During his Presidency, he established the Superfund program, 
supporting the cleanup of toxic sites across western New York, 
including Love Canal.
  Following his term in office, he set the standard for the post-
Presidency and saved millions of lives by advancing global health, 
including through his efforts to end childhood malaria fatalities and 
destigmatize HIV.
  He was a man of faith who loved his family and loved our country.
  Let us mourn our Nation's loss, celebrate a life well lived, and 
learn from his legacy of always putting country before self.
  May President Jimmy Carter rest in peace.
