                         HONORING JULIA FAIRFAX

  (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. Mr. Speaker, as a graduate of a historically 
black college, I too want to add my welcome to our guest chaplain, Dr. 
Eric Joseph. But I really rise to pay tribute to a grand lady of my 
community, Miss Julia Fairfax, 93 years old, who passed away just last 
week.
  The amazing thing about her, though, is she was actively engaged and 
involved with all levels of community activity up until about 6 months 
ago. A grand lady, a grand dame, a lady that we shall always remember, 
admire and respect, Miss Julia Fairfax.
