  IN THE PASSING OF JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS, CAMELOT HAS LOST ITS 
                               GUINEVERE

  (Mr. BILBRAY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BILBRAY. Mr. Speaker, in the early 1960's I was asked as a 
student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to be the head of the 
student for Kennedy in southern Nevada. I was so proud that I was asked 
to do this as an active member of the Young Democrats, and I worked 
very, very hard. Even though I cannot consider myself a knight in 
Camelot, I certainly considered myself a squire or maybe only a page, 
but I worked very, very hard in that election to get then-Senator 
Kennedy elected President.
  For the next 3 years I watched in awe, in admiration, as the Kennedy 
administration moved forward on many programs that I as a Democrat held 
so near and dear. We certainly admired President Kennedy and his wife, 
Jacqueline Kennedy, and were happy to see the progress of this 
administration. We were happy when they coined the name Camelot, 
because again, we felt we were part of that noble cause to bring their 
justice to all mankind and America in general.
  We lost that ray of light last night when Jacqueline Kennedy died, 
and we will remember her forever. That light has gone out, and we feel 
so bad about it, but her memory will go on forever. We have certainly 
lost our fair Guinevere.
