  Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, Ray Baum's life was sadly cut short, but his 
public service both in Oregon and Washington, D.C. will continue to 
serve as an example for us all.
  We will be forever grateful for Ray's contributions to the House 
Energy & Commerce Committee, where he consistently approached his work 
with honesty and integrity.
  As a senior advisor to the Communications and Technology subcommittee 
and later to the full committee, his expertise on technology and 
telecommunications issues was invaluable.
  No matter their background or viewpoint, Ray treated everyone with 
respect and kindness. We all admired his dedication to the policy 
issues he worked on, the Committee, and to his country.
  My thoughts and prayers are with Ray's family during this difficult 
time. He will be greatly missed.
