                  MOURNING THE LOSS OF ODELIA ROBINSON

  (Mrs. JONES of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to mourn the 
loss of one of the most significant councilwomen in the city of 
Cleveland, Odelia Robinson. Odelia Robinson is the former councilwoman 
in Ward 3. She was succeeded by Zachery Reed, one of the people that 
she nurtured in public life. Odelia Robinson has always been my friend. 
Prior to coming to the council, she served in a nurturing profession. 
She was a nurse and in social work. We in the city of Cleveland will 
miss this great soldier.
  I join with all the people of the 11th congressional district to 
extend our sympathy and condolences to the family of Odelia Robinson.
