Whereas Morris King Udall served his Nation and his State of Arizona 
  with honor and distinction in his 30 years as a Member of the United 
  States House of Representatives;

Whereas Morris King Udall became an internationally recognized leader 
  in the field of conservation, personally sponsoring legislation that 
  more than doubled the National Park and National Wildlife Refuge 
  systems, and added thousands of acres to America's National 
  Wilderness Preservation System;

Whereas Morris King Udall was also instrumental in reorganizing the 
  United States Postal Service, in helping enact legislation to restore 
  lands left in the wake of surface mining, enhancing and protecting 
  the civil service, and fighting long and consistently to safeguard 
  the rights and legacies of Native Americans;

Whereas in his lifetime, Morris King Udall became known as a model 
  Member of Congress and was among the most effective and admired 
  legislators of his generation;

Whereas this very decent and good man from Arizona also left us with 
  one of the most precious gifts of all--a special brand of wonderful 
  and endearing humor that was distinctly his;

Whereas Morris King Udall set a standard for all facing adversity as he 
  struggled against the onslaught of Parkinson's disease with the same 
  optimism and humor that were the hallmarks of his life; and

Whereas Morris King Udall in so many ways will continue to stand as a 
  symbol of all that is best about public service, for all that is 
  civil in political discourse, for all that is kind and gentle, and 
  will remain an inspiration to others: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
        (1) has learned with profound sorrow of the death of the

    collegial interaction in the legislative process.
