                         REMEMBERING JOHN ADLER

  (Mr. ANDREWS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, for those of us who've known John for a 
long time and who have loved and cherished him, this is a very tragic 
and difficult occasion. I hope that Shelley and his boys know, in the 
depths of their grief, the breadth of love and respect for John that 
people feel tonight.
  His loss is tragic beyond words, but we can, for a moment, celebrate 
a victory over tragedy tonight that one person in 51 brief years could 
touch the lives and achieve the achievements that John Adler did in his 
life. His life was far too short, but it was rich, it was filled with 
laughter and achievement, and those of us who have been touched by his 
friendship count ourselves richer for the benefit of that.
  May God bless his family and rest his soul.
