                     THE PEACEMAKER, YITZHAK RABIN

  Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, it is with deep sadness and great respect 
that I offer my profound tribute to the memory of Prime Minister 
Yitzhak Rabin of Israel. Mr. Rabin was a warrior, brave in battle. He 
was a visionary, with the courage to seek peace. This Nation and this 
institution will miss him and his leadership. We will mourn with Israel 
in its time of loss.
  Citizens of my State of Florida are honored that Yitzhak Rabin 
visited our State on many occasions. We were proud to host a man of 
such dignity, purpose, and resolve. And we join the world in prayer for 
healing as this great man was buried yesterday near the place of his 
birth 73 years ago. We extend our deepest sympathy to his family, but 
we rejoice in the life of this special man, who has earned the biblical 
truth, ``Blessed are the peacemakers.''
