I would like to read a statement by the Honorable Eddie Bernice Johnson about the Congressman. She said: I pay tribute to the life and legacy of a distinguished public servant and colleague, John James Conyers Jr., who passed away this weekend, and she asked that her colleagues join her in extending sympathies to Congressman Conyers' wife, Monica; Conyers' sons, John Conyers III and Carl Edward Conyers; and all whom he influenced over the course of his life. May he rest in peace. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring forth my Michigan delegation colleague. It is significant to note that Rashida Tlaib, Congresswoman Tlaib, actually represents the seat from which John Conyers retired. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Michigan, Rashida Tlaib.
