                        THE QUIET BEATLE IS GONE

  (Mr. INSLEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. INSLEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the humanitarian workers in 
Afghanistan like the Mercy Corps group who when the Afghani people 
said, ``I need you,'' they did not respond, ``Don't bother me.''
  I want to tell you, it is a long, long, long and hard road that they 
are walking.
  And their efforts are their own, not paid for by the taxman.
  Their work is really something.
  And because of their work, someday the Afghani people will be able to 
say, ``Here comes the sun,'' and I say, ``It's all right.''
