Flag draped casket to pay my respects. It was somber and it was personal. And it was an extra ordinary moment for me, as i am sure it was for you and millions of americans and people around the with who felt a connection the great are bg rbg. It was sad because we lost a giant not only of the court but of american life. It was a celebration. Few people in our history have done more to change the lives of the American People than Ruth Bader Ginsburg did as a lawyer, advocate, and a Supreme Court justice. And it was an inspiration and a call to each of us, for each of us to be better, to stay in the fight, and stay committed to what motivated Justice Ginsburg etched inthat phrase the marble of the United States Supreme Court equal justice under the law. Justice ginsburg came to her view of the law not from a textbook but from life. Her own life. She often told the story of how she had personally felt the sting of discrimination as a woman, as the mother of a young child trying to find wo

Each member other than the majority and minority leaders and the majority whip shall be limited to five minutes. The chair recognizes the gentlewoman from North Carolina, ms. Foxx, for five minutes. Ms. Foxx thank you, mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, i offer my deepest condolences to reverend Billy Grahams children and grandchildren on this very sad occasion. Reverend billy graham will be remembered by millions of people for millions of reasons, which is a testament to the people he inspired. When i consider reverend grahams life and all of his many accomplishments, i think of his Humble Beginnings and his dedication to bringing people to christ. Reverend graham, North Carolinas favorite son, began as a farmers son and was not born with the steadfast faith that we later observed. It was a faith he chose and that he dedicated himself to all of his life. Later he would be called americas pastor as he counseled president s and the poor alike. What is remarkable is how reverend graham heard the
The government. This came after weeks of acrimony and no shortage of hostility here on the senate floor and elsewhere. And while most of the recent debate has been focused on the future of immigration policy, another vitally important priority and a bipartisan priority, no less, was also addressed this week. Im talking of course about the sixyear extension of the Childrens Health Insurance Program which was included in the funding bill. Its a shame really that this bipartisan accomplishment has in some respects been overlooked while more attention has been given to partisan squabbling over more divisive issues. Since its interception, chip has been a bipartisan program. In 1997, senator kennedy and i came together to create chip in order to provide Health Insurance to vulnerable children. It was a Republicancontrolled Congress working with a democratic president that brought this program into existence. The year before that same Republican Congress and democratic president worked toget
