                   HONORING SISTER JEANNE O'LAUGHLIN

  (Mr. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART of Florida asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.).
  Mr. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
salute a dear friend who I love and who my entire community loves, 
Sister Jeanne O'Laughlin, president of Miami's Barry University. It has 
been a privilege to be able to work with Sister Jeanne. It has been one 
of the truly wonderful things I have been able to do in Congress.
  You see, Mr. Speaker, Sister Jeanne is so special, it is difficult to 
choose only a few words to describe her. Talent, imagination, 
compassion, faith, perseverance, sense of humor, devotion, integrity, 
charisma, success, all those realities about Sister Jeanne are evident. 
But the meaning of one word outweighs all others in regard to her, one 
word describes her best, ``love.''
  Thank you, Jeanne O'Laughlin, for loving your family, your neighbors, 
your community, for loving us all. Thank you for having put your love 
into action in your life and with your entire life.
