                HONORING THE SACRIFICE OF LIVIU LIBRESCU

  (Mr. AL GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise to thank God for Mr. Liviu 
Librescu.
  Monday was Holocaust Remembrance Day, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Liviu Librescu 
was a teacher for 20 years at Virginia Tech. He was a husband and a 
father, 76 years of age, and a Holocaust survivor.
  On Monday, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, he blocked the doorway to a 
classroom to protect the students in that classroom from almost certain 
death. And in so doing, he sacrificed his life. He survived the 
Holocaust and made the ultimate sacrifice. He gave his life so that 
others could live. Thank God for him.
  May God bless his family and all of those who have suffered at 
Virginia Tech.
