       H. RES. 505, CONDEMNING THE MURDER OF DR. GEORGE R. TILLER

  (Ms. HIRONO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HIRONO. Mr. Speaker, later today the House will consider H. Res. 
505, a bill that condemns the tragic murder of Dr. George Tiller, and 
offers our condolences to his wife, four children and 10 grandchildren.
  He was known as a doctor of last resort and a friend to women when 
they were in desperate need of support and care. His murder in his 
church in Wichita, where he served as an usher and where his wife sang 
in the choir, was a violent, lawless and senseless act.
  At his memorial service this past Saturday, Dr. Tiller was remembered 
for his generosity of spirit and his sense of humor. Let us also 
remember him for his courage.
  Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much).
