  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep sadness that I report the
death of Molly Porter, 34, of Smyrna, Delaware. Molly passed away on
March 1, 2002, in the prime of her life. For the past five years, Molly
has been a valued employee of the Delaware Public Archives in Dover,
Delaware. Molly's work ensured that the history of Delaware was
preserved and available for all Delawareans, and she helped many more
people, firsthand, in their desire to learn more about their family,
their state and their country. Her service to the citizens of Delaware
and this country was a model for public service. She worked to help
others and, in so doing, contributed to the quality of life in
Delaware. She will not be forgotten. The state of Delaware has lost a
true public servant, and our thoughts and prayers are with her family
and friends at this time.
