                       Thursday, October 2, 1997

  Mr. ROGAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a dear friend 
who has spent his career serving his family, his community, and his 
country.
  Now more than ever, our Nation looks to its finest citizens for 
examples of how to live and how to succeed. From his earliest days, 
Kendall Raine strove to gain a sound education, give more than he took, 
and dedicate his life to improving the circumstances of others.
  As a young man, Kendall learned the importance of a good education. 
After graduating from Yale, he carried his experience and his insight 
to the U.S. Army, where he served with the Counter Intelligence Corps 
during the height of the cold war.
  Following his military service, Kendall immersed himself in the world 
of investment banking as our Nation solidified its position of world 
leadership in finance. Kendall's experience eventually led him to J.P. 
Morgan, where he served for nearly 30 years. His expertise with foreign 
markets and the world's changing economy was frequently called upon by 
members of the board of directors of one of the Nation's top investment 
houses.
  Kendall has always been a man with a sense of community and a 
dedication to his family and friends. After nearly three decades of 
service with Morgan, his focus shifted closer to home. For over 15 
years, Kendall served East-West Bank as a counselor, consultant, 
trusted advisor, and respected member of the board of directors.
  Beyond his success in the private sector, Kendall has proven himself 
to be a man of integrity, grit and determination. Throughout his 
career--often traveling far from family and home--he has never lost 
sight of what truly matters.
  Mr. Speaker, America is a nation founded on the principles of the 
free market, dedication to liberty and pursuit of what is right. 
Kendall Raine has personified these characteristics and instilled these 
qualities in his friends, family and peers. For his work, for his 
dedication and for his friendship, I am pleased to pay tribute to A. 
Kendall Raine, Jr.
