                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

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 Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) has learned with profound sorrow of the death of the 
        Honorable Morris King Udall on December 12, 1998, and extends 
        condolences to the Udall family, and especially to his wife 
        Norma;
            (2) expresses its profound gratitude to the Honorable 
        Morris King Udall and his family for the service that he 
        rendered to his country; and
            (3) recognizes with appreciation and respect the Honorable 
        Morris K. Udall's commitment to and example of bipartisanship 
        and collegial interaction in the legislative process.

concurrent resolution to the family of the Honorable Morris King Udall.

            Passed the Senate March 4, 1999.

                                                             Secretary.
