  Ms. MATSUI. Madam Speaker, Ellen Tauscher was tough, strategic and 
effective.
  As we mourn the loss of our friend Ellen, we are reminded of not only 
of the deals that she forged here in the halls of Congress, but also 
the continued treaties that she established between nations.
  As we have heard many of my colleagues stress today, Ellen stands out 
because she created success and opportunity in rare, tough situations.
  I knew Ellen could always bring all sides to the table.
  Ellen's work at the highest levels of government have roots in her 
remarkable career prior to politics--being a trailblazing member of the 
New York Stock Exchange and founding the ChildCare Registry in Northern 
California.
  Her bold leadership style created an environment of confidence and 
trust.
  On a personal level, I remember the fun times we had together talking 
and sharing the adventures--highs and lows of our kids.
  Today and as we move forward, I know the world is safer because of 
Ellen Tauscher's leadership in the State Department and Armed Services 
Committee. We will all miss her courage, her thoughtfulness, and her 
humanity
