                          Tuesday, May 3, 2011

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
the life of David Broder, who was a great servant and patriot to this 
country.
  Mr. Broder was born in Chicago Heights, Illinois in 1929. He received 
his bachelor's degree in liberal arts and soon began writing for two 
prominent newspapers, The Chicago Maroon and the Hyde Park Herald. By 
1960, he was writing for the New York Times covering the presidential 
race between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. He soon took a job 
writing for the Washington Post, where he remained for more than 40 
years.
  Throughout his career, Mr. Broder achieved many milestones and was 
recognized for his superb skills in the art of journalism. He won a 
Pulitzer Prize in 1973 for his political commentary and was the 
recipient of the 4th Estate Award from the National Press Club in 1988. 
He was honored by Washingtonian Magazine as one of the best 50 
journalists in both 2005 and 2009. Mr. Broder boasted the most 
appearances for a journalist on Meet the Press with over 400 since 
1963.
  Though David, unfortunately, left us one month ago, he will always 
remain in our memories because of his work and service covering the 
issues that matter most to this country.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in remembering the life of 
David Broder and his devotion to uncovering the truth. David was truly 
a remarkable individual and a phenomenal asset to all of us here in 
Washington and around the world.
