           PRIME MINISTER'S LEGACY TO MOVE FORWARD FOR PEACE

  (Mr. CARDIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, as a Member of the congressional delegation 
that attended Mr. Rabin's funeral, let me share with you some of my 
observations from returning from Jerusalem.
  Mr. Rabin was truly a unique individual who pursued peace, and his 
loss will be deeply felt in the peace process, make no mistake about 
that. We have lost a unique individual who was committed to bringing 
about peace.
  As President Clinton remarked and as King Hussein of Jordan remarked, 
the legacy of Mr. Rabin must be to move forward in the peace process. 
The best way to honor Mr. Rabin's memory is for all of us to rededicate 
ourselves to peace in the Middle East.
  My observations of what is happening in Israel today is that the 
Israelis are more united, more committed to peace than ever before, and 
I think that is a fitting tribute to Mr. Rabin's work.
