  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to 
Cornelia Grumman of the Chicago Tribune, winner of the 2003 Pulitzer 
Prize for editorial writing.
  A native of Evanston, a resident of Chicago, a graduate of Duke, 
Cornelia Grumman has graced the Chicago Tribune for many years with her 
thought provoking, influential editorials on the reform of the death 
penalty. As a veteran reporter whose journalistic prowess earned her 
much recognition, Cornelia was made a member of the Chicago Tribune 
editorial board in 2000.
  Cornelia's Pulitzer citation reads: For distinguished editorial 
writing, the test of excellence being clearness of style, moral 
purpose, sound reasoning, and power to influence public opinion in what 
the writer conceives to be the right direction. Awarded to Cornelia 
Grumman of the Chicago Tribune for her powerful, freshly challenging 
editorials on reform of the death penalty.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring Cornelia 
Grumman on her achievements and wish Cornelia many years of future 
success.
