“I thank Congressman Eleanor Holmes Norton. Let me say that Ron passed away in his home here in Washington, D.C., on July 30. She was his Representative. {time} 1700 Ron loved the District of Columbia, as Ms. Norton said. His children went to Alice Deal Junior High School and Woodrow Wilson High School. He worked with Ms. Norton, as well as Hilda Mason, who was on the city council and was a strong activist for statehood. So I thank Ms. Norton for reminding us of Ron's wonderful history in the District of Columbia. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Johnson), my friend, a member of the Judiciary Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, but a prior member of the House Armed Services Committee. I thank Congressman Johnson for being with us tonight.”
