                  REMEMBERING AND MOURNING JOHN ADLER

  (Mr. RUNYAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. RUNYAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise this evening to express my sincere 
condolences to the family and friends of former Congressman John Adler. 
My deepest sympathies go out to those that knew him best and loved him 
most, his wife, Shelley, and their four sons--Jeffrey, Alex, Andrew, 
and Oliver.
  Congressman Adler was a committed and compassionate public servant 
who fought tirelessly for the causes in which he believed. His legacy 
of public service includes elected office as a council member in Cherry 
Hill, New Jersey, his tenure in the New Jersey State Senate, and 
representing New Jersey's Third Congressional District here in the 
United States House of Representatives.
  Mr. Speaker, words often fail to accurately reflect the true measure 
of one's life, but I hope that Shelley, their sons, and extended family 
and friends may take comfort in John's many accomplishments and knowing 
that his lifetime of public service has left a lasting legacy for which 
they can be most proud.
