                          CELEBRATION OF LIFE

  (Mr. NORMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NORMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in celebration of life. Psalm 
127:3 reminds us:

       Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from 
     him.

  With 4 children and 16 grandchildren, I know what a special gift each 
child is. On the eve of the March for Life, I am proud to gather with 
my colleagues to recognize the important work being done to protect 
each life each and every day.
  I look forward to supporting legislation that recognizes the value of 
life and provides protection for each life, starting from the very 
beginning. I will remain a strong advocate for the sanctity of life and 
continue to be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.
  We should celebrate every life and cherish the potential each child 
possesses. As we March for Life, we show the world the value we place 
on life today and every other day of the year.
