                        HONORING DR. HERB LONDON

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Rothfus) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. ROTHFUS. Mr. Speaker, our Nation lost an intellectual giant and 
visionary leader this past Saturday, November 10, 2018.
  Dr. Herbert London was a legendary conservative author, scholar, 
commentator, and defender of freedom. He was a scholar's scholar and a 
gentleman's gentleman.
  A New Yorker of great stature, Herb grew up playing basketball and 
led his high school team to a city championship. After completing his 
studies at Columbia University, Herb's hoop-playing skills caught the 
eye of the Syracuse Nationals; however, an injury blocked his athletic 
career.
  Herb went on to earn a Ph.D. from New York University and later 
served as the dean of NYU's Gallatin division. From running for 
political office to leading the Hudson Institute to founding the London 
Center for Policy Research, Dr. London was the definition of a 
renaissance man and a true patriot, committed to bringing about a 
stronger, more principled Nation.
  A 6'5'' tower of humility, integrity, and vision, Herb will be sorely 
missed, and his legacy will forever be enshrined in the hearts and 
minds of many.
  My prayers are with the London family as they heal from this 
tremendous loss.
  May he rest in peace.
