   WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Veteran Congresswoman Rep. Louise Slaughter   
   died Friday days after falling in her residence, her top aide   
   said. The 88-year-old lawmaker had been the first woman to chair   
   the House Rules Committee and was her party's top member on the   
   panel when she died.   
      
   The New York Democrat died at George Washington University   
   Hospital in Washington, a week after a fall in which she'd   
   sustained a concussion, said Liam Fitzsimmons, her chief of   
   staff. Doctors had been monitoring her for a condition,   
   Fitzsimmons said.   
      
   Slaughter was serving her 16th term in the House, and her 31   
   years in the chamber were the third longest, according to the   
   official House website. She chaired the Rules committee from   
   2007 through 2010.
