                     YITZHAK RABIN'S ASSASSINATION

  (Mr. KNOLLENBERG asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KNOLLENBERG. Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, November 4, the world 
suffered a great loss. Prime Minister Rabin's leadership and commitment 
to peace in the Middle East will be missed.
  His untimely death is nothing less than tragic, not only to his 
family and the people of Israel, but to everyone who yearns for the end 
of bloodshed in the Middle East.
  The United States has always stood beside Israel. Now more than ever, 
we must reaffirm our commitment to the parties involved in the peace 
process to ensure that Yitzhak Rabin's vision becomes a reality.
  Mr. Speaker, our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Israel 
and Prime Minister Peres.
  The challenges of the future are large, but not insurmountable. Mr. 
Rabin has shown us that courage and perseverance can win the day. Let 
us learn from his example.
