                      TRIBUTE TO HARRY NALTCHAYAN

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I have spoken often about the late Dr. 
Hampar Kelikian, the gifted surgeon who became one of my closest 
friends.
  It was through Dr. Kelikian that I was first introduced to Armenian-
American community. Over the years, I have been privileged to become 
acquainted with many outstanding members of this community. One of the 
most prominent of those was Harry Naltchayan, who passed away on 
September 16 at the age of 69.
  Harry was a true citizen of the world. From Armenian background. Born 
in Lebanon. He traveled the globe as a prize-winning photographer, 
first as a free lancer and then for the Washington Post.
  During his 35-year career with the Post, Harry photographed every 
President since Eisenhower, and was a familiar face at the White House, 
on Capitol Hill, and along Embassy Row.
  Gentleman is a word that many regard as a bit old-fashioned in 
today's modern society. I disagree. And no doubt about it, with his 
kind and courteous nature, and his civility in a business that is often 
uncivil, Harry Naltchayan was a true gentleman.
  I know that all Members of the Senate join with me in extending our 
condolences to Harry's wife, Elizabeth, and their four children.
