                        ON SENATOR EDMUND MUSKIE

  (Mr. MORAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Democratic minority, it is 
appropriate to take note of a distinguished Governor, U.S. Senator, 
Secretary of State, and Vice Presidential candidate. It is on Ed 
Muskie's shoulders that much of the intellectual foundation of our 
foreign policy rests in terms of the primary of human rights and the 
sustainable progress of economic development throughout the world. It 
was on Senator Muskie's watch and on his shoulders that these 
priorities were defined and promoted.
  It is also appropriate to say that it was on his giant shoulders, 
that were so strong with integrity, that many of us lesser public 
servants have attempted to stand. Senator Muskie always stood tall and 
made us all proud to be public servants, and we deeply mourn his 
passing.
