         CONDOLENCES EXTENDED TO THE HONORABLE SHELLEY BERKLEY

  (Mr. PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my deepest 
sympathies to my dear friend and colleague, the gentlewoman from Nevada 
(Ms. Berkley).
  Yesterday, Estelle Auslander, the mother of the gentlewoman from 
Nevada, passed away after a long battle with cancer at the age of 74. 
As many of my colleagues know, the gentlewoman from Nevada left 
Washington last week to be with her mother during this very serious 
time.
  My thoughts and prayers are with my colleague and all of Mrs. 
Auslander's friends and family. I know that my colleagues will join me 
in these sentiments.
