                              JAMES DAVIS

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I wish to say a word about the tragedy in 
New York. I knew James Davis quite well. I spoke at his inaugural. He 
doesn't live very far from me in Brooklyn. I will speak more about him 
tomorrow. But I just want to say that he was a wonderful man. He had a 
smile on his face a mile wide. He was so happy. After many tries, he 
was elected to the city council. His devotion to the people he 
represented and to his ideals was second to none. It was a terrible 
tragedy. We all regret it.
  There is a sad face hanging over New York and America tonight. We 
pray for James, for his family, for his friends, and for everyone in 
his life who he touched.
