HONORING DAVID SCOTT Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 82 (Thursday, May 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 82 (Thursday, May 14, 2026)] [House] [Page H3510] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING DAVID SCOTT (Mrs. McBATH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Mrs. McBATH. Mr. Speaker, since the passing of our colleague and friend David Scott last month, we continue to miss his presence and honor the impact that he had on this body. Whether it was the memory of his famous job fairs or a remembrance of how his office solved Federal problems for his constituents, I have deeply enjoyed hearing the stories from those David impacted, both colleagues here in D.C., and during his memorial service in Atlanta. Back home in Georgia and in Congress, his legacy defines him as a fiercely devoted champion for farmers, for young Black scholars, and for all those who needed a voice in Congress. We love and we miss you, David. Thank you for your devotion to this Congress and to this country. ____________________
