IN MEMORY OF THE LATE LADY BIRD JOHNSON -- (House of Representatives - July 11, 2007)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DOGGETT. Madam Speaker, Lady Bird Johnson cared for all that is beautiful and vulnerable in the world. I think every child in a Head Start program, every wild flower gracing our highways is testament to her service.

In Austin we think of her years as well as after the White House, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, our Town Lake Trail, which families enjoy as a result of her concern.

Our thoughts and prayers are particularly with her daughters, Lucy Baines Johnson and Lynda Bird Robb, their children, who are themselves a testament to her tradition and public service. And at an appropriate time we would like to ask that the House observe a moment of silence.
