                YITZHAK RABIN'S DREAM MUST BE KEPT ALIVE

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)

  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, today we all feel we are part of one 
great global family, cloaked in sadness as we try to deal with the 
senseless assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. I think every one of us feels 
very helpless and impotent that we could not prevent such a senseless 
act by a killer who killed one of the great soldiers and dreamers who 
was acting on peace. But I must remind all of us on this day that while 
we could not prevent the killing, we can prevent the killing of his 
dream. We must not let the feeling of helplessness and impotence 
descend upon us to not go forward with his dream of peace.
  Instead, it must rekindle the flame even brighter, even harder, and 
we must work even more vigorously to bring peace to that region that 
has known so little, and to carry on the great dream and vision he had 
for that region, his home.
