                             DAVID PACKARD

 Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, I was deeply saddened to learn of 
the death of David Packard yesterday. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers 
go out to his family as people around the Nation pay tribute to his 
remarkable life and mourn his passing.
  Untold numbers of people's lives were touched by David Packard or 
changed by the advent of his innovations. Not only will he be 
remembered for his pioneering work in the area of electronic and 
computer technology, but also his progressive management philosophy 
promises to remain fundamental in the high-tech industry in particular 
and American business in general.
  Although his work at Hewlett-Packard was best known to the public, he 
found time to donate his valuable energy and resources to his country 
and many organizations and causes which are now an integral part of 
California's communities and elsewhere. The Monterey Bay Aquarium and 
the Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University 
are just two of his most visible contributions. His generosity, as most 
clearly manifest by the continuing work of the David and Lucile Packard 
Foundation, will long be remembered as the living legacy of a departed 
friend.
