I want to rise now to add to their names one other hero who has been mentioned here today, John Heinz, after whom one of the facilities contained in this bill will be named. John Heinz at the very moment of his death was literally killed in the line of duty, was concerning himself on a trip to further the interests of his investigation into Medicare fraud and other health care abuses, all in the genre of the issues in which he was involved from the very first day he began to serve in this very House before he went to the U.S. Senate. He was a hero to many Pennsylvanians, to all Pennsylvanians and to all those who remember him who are now Members of this Congress.
