          MOMENT OF SILENCE HONORING CONGRESSMAN FRANK GUARINI

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to an honorable, 
patriotic, gregarious American who dedicated his life to building our 
Nation and world into a more just, livable country and democratic 
world.
  This past weekend, former New Jersey Congressman Frank Guarini passed 
away at the ripe age of 101 years old, just 2 months shy of attaining 
his 102nd birthday.
  Frank was an American patriot, World War II decorated Pacific Navy 
veteran, successful lawyer, and business leader. His milestone life 
included service in this House from 1979 to 1993.
  Hailing from Jersey City, New Jersey, Frank, like his father before 
him, distinguished himself as an honorable, extraordinary citizen, a 
champion swimmer, and World War II Navy combat veteran with three 
battle stars of the Pacific campaign. He rose to the rank of lieutenant 
in the U.S. Navy.
  He served as a distinguished probing member of the Ways and Means 
Committee, specializing in international trade and fair taxation.
  Continuing to pursue business and philanthropic interests until his 
passing, he endowed his alma maters: Dartmouth College's School of 
International Relations, Saint Peters College, New York School of Law, 
as well as John Cabot University in Italy, the Italian American 
Foundation, and countless and endless works of good will toward others.
  I send my heartfelt prayers and deepest condolences to his sister, 
Caroline; nephew, Peter; niece, Carol; many cousins; countless friends; 
loved ones around the world; and his beloved Jersey City community to 
which he dedicated his being.
  May Frank's constructive and honorable life inspire future leaders in 
the generations to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask for a moment of silence in his memory.
