I rise in support of H.R. 643 and thank Mr. LaTourette for introducing a bill to honor Carl B. Stokes. Carl B. Stokes achieved many remarkable things in his life--he was a member of the Ohio General Assembly, a news anchor for WNBC-TV in New York City, a Judge, and a U.S. Ambassador. Perhaps his greatest achievement was his landmark election as the mayor of Cleveland, becoming the first African-American to hold great urban, political power. He is the brother of Louis Stokes, our friend and colleague. It is most fitting to honor Carl Stokes by designating the new U.S. courthouse in Cleveland in his honor.
