IN MEMORY OF PE KHA LAU

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 39 (Thursday, February 27, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 39 (Thursday, February 27, 2025)] [House] [Pages H911-H912] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] IN MEMORY OF PE KHA LAU (Mr. SHERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, there is one other cut they made, and that is they cut oxygen in a clinic for people who have fled the terrible deaths in Burma/Myanmar. As a result, a 71-year-old woman, Pe Kha Lau, died without her oxygen. I ask that this House not only reflect on the other 10,000 people in that refugee camp who are without medical care, but I ask that we adjourn in silence in the memory of Pe Kha Lau [[Page H912]] who died at the hands of Elon Musk and DOGE. ____________________
