                      IN RECOGNITION OF JUDY WOLPE

  (Mr. SCHWARZ of Michigan asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SCHWARZ of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart 
to recognize the life of Judy Wolpe. Judy was the wife of former 
Congressman Howard Wolpe of Michigan, who served in this Chamber from 
1978 until 1992. Tragically, Judy was the victim of a drowning accident 
while on vacation with her husband in Guatemala.
  Judy was a distinguished public servant in her own right, serving as 
board chairwoman of Lansing Community College, and in administrative 
posts for former Michigan Governor Jim Blanchard and former Indiana 
Governor and current U.S. Senator Evan Bayh.
  Judy and I shared a hometown, Battle Creek, Michigan. We graduated 
from the same high school. Judy was a distinguished educator, with 
degrees from Michigan State University and Western Michigan University. 
She was a devoted mother of four sons and grandmother of five. 
Additionally, she is survived by her father, two sisters, and her 
brother.
  Judy had great zest for life. She was a giving and warm person, and 
she will be truly missed.
