                   US House Pauses for Congressman's Funeral

   The U.S. House has canceled Thursday`s legislative session so lawmakers
   can attend the funeral of one of its longest-serving members,
   Representative C.W. Bill Young.
   U.S. military aircraft are flying lawmakers to (the southern state of)
   Florida for the funeral service at a Baptist church before returning to
   Washington late in the day. Several key lawmakers, including House
   Speaker John Boehner, are scheduled to eulogize Young, a Republican,
   who died last week at age 82.
   Young served 43 years in Congress, earning a reputation as a strong
   supporter for U.S. military spending.
