 LET US DEDICATE OURSELVES TO THE CAUSE OF PEACE TO ENSURE THAT PRIME 
                   MINISTER RABIN DID NOT DIE IN VAIN

  (Mr. GILMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, the violent death of Israel's Prime Minister 
Yitzhak Rabin is a tragedy, not only for his family and for Israel, but 
for the entire world. His life spanned Israel's painful struggle for 
birth and survival.
  His military background gave him the credentials to lead Israel in 
search of a secure peace. General Rabin knew how to wage war. Prime 
Minister Rabin knew how to make peace.
  In the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln, he has given the last full 
measure in his devotion to peace for Israel.
  We can ensure that Yitzhak Rabin will not have died in vain if we the 
living rededicate ourselves to the cause of peace, to carry the torch 
that Yitzhak Rabin held high on the road to peace for Israel and for 
her neighbors throughout the Middle East.
