  Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, we all had many teachers during our years 
of education. Some of them were more important than others in assisting 
our understanding of the world and our place in it. For me, Dan 
Goldrich was one of the very few who stood head and shoulders above the 
rest. He helped me develop my ability to think critically and defy 
conventional wisdom when necessary. He is credentialed as a Professor

Science but he taught me much more. Often as I take to the Floor of the 
House of Representatives to debate issues of human rights, labor 
rights, international trade, the environment or U.S. foreign policy, 
Dan's lessons echo in my mind. Dan's teaching didn't end with my 
graduation from graduate school. He has continued to counsel and assist 
me during my political career. He has also constantly challenged me and 
many other former students by the example he sets as a tireless 
activist and humanitarian. Congratulations on your formal retirement to 
emeritus status! I fully expect that freedom from the demands of full 
time teaching will give Dan even more time and energy to inspire a 
whole new generation of activists who understand the struggle for 
sustainability, democracy and equity!
