  Mr. LUTHER. Mr. Speaker, King Hussein's death marks the passing of a 
truly visionary leader. His reasoned, thoughtful approach toward 
achieving Middle East peace inspired all of us. We Minnesotans are 
especially honored that the King received the best possible care in the 
world from our wonderful Mayo Medical Center. Our deepest sympathies to 
the family of the King, and all of the people of Jordan and the world.
