                        Wednesday, June 12, 2019

  Mr. STAUBER. Madam Speaker, I rise today in memory Daniel del 
Castillo, a dedicated public servant from the state of Minnesota who 
passed away suddenly on May 8, 2019.
  Daniel joined the State Department in 2008 and served his country 
with distinction in several different capacities all over the globe. He 
served at the embassies in Kathmandu and Cairo, as a Political Advisor 
to U.S. Africa

Command, and at the National Security Council before joining Secretary 
of State's Executive Secretariat in the summer of 2017. As part of 
secretariat staff, he advanced travels for the Secretary of State to 
Manila, Beijing, Doha, Mexico City, Brasilia, and Paris, among other 
places.
  Daniel dedicated his life to his country and his loss will be felt 
deeply at the State Department. To his coworkers, Daniel was thoughtful 
and intelligent. They could always rely on his calm demeaner and 
valuable insight into policy and the State Department's role in the 
world.
  Daniel was a husband, son, and friend. He is survived by his wife 
Renae Ask; his mother Marcia del Castillo; his two older sisters 
Deborah and Michele del Castillo; nieces Isabella and Cezanne; nephews 
Giovanni and Alessandro; and two great-nephews, Hayden and Hudson. My 
prayers are with them as they mourn his loss.
