                  HONORING JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG

  (Ms. ESHOO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor this morning on behalf of 
the people of California's 18th Congressional District to pay tribute 
to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
  Inscribed on the front of the building of the Supreme Court are the 
words: ``Equal justice under the law.'' And that is what Justice 
Ginsburg did. She brought equality relative to voting rights, to gender 
equity, to civil rights. That was her work. She took it seriously using 
her extraordinary intelligence, her faith, her belief in a more perfect 
union.
  We pay tribute to her in a unique way. In history, there are very few 
individuals that are known by their initials: FDR, LBJ, JFK, and now 
RBG.
  As the poet wrote: And so she passed and all the trumpets sounded on 
the other side.
  Thank you, Justice Ginsburg, may you rest in peace.
