Congresswoman RoSLEHTINEN. know very well. because we spent our weekend. the gentlewoman and I. in Miami. taking time from our families and our constituents last weekend. when we heard about Raiza Teresa Santana. the Cuban mother. 28 years old. about whom Congressman DEUTSCH. spoke. who left on a makeshift raft with her 10yearold son and gave all of her drinking water and her food to her son. She then lost consciousness. Her son later sighted one of those large cruise ships and was rescued. By that time. the mother was unconscious. had slipped. in fact. into a coma. We worked diligently. and we express our gratitude through this means to the Immigration and Naturalization Service for having heeded our call and permitted Raiza Santana to be brought to the United States for treatment. Yet we have heard today that she passed away. Madam Speaker.
