  Mr. MARKEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Wayne Jaquith upon the 
occasion of his impending retirement.
  Over the last two decades, Wayne Jaquith has worked tirelessly to 
advance the cause of peace, security and disarmament.
  Since June of 1999, he has coordinated the Peace and Security Funders 
Group, an organization which works with various philanthropic 
organizations interested in peace and disarmament issues. From December 
1997 through May 1999, Wayne founded and ran the Peace Philanthropy 
Project, which sought to cultivate new philanthropy on peace and 
security issues. In 2002, Wayne also co-founded the Iraq Peace Fund, 
and served on its distribution committee. He also has been a consultant 
to W. Alton Jones Foundation, Ploughshares Fund and Turner Foundation.
  Until July 1997, Wayne was president and founder of National Security 
News Service, Natural Resources News Service and Public Education 
Center. From 1989 through 1992, he served first as vice president and 
then as president of Council for a Livable World Education Fund, and as 
Boston director of Council for a Livable World. From 1978 through 1988, 
Wayne served successively as executive director of Nantucket Land 
Council, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Lawyers Alliance for 
Nuclear Arms Control and Ploughshares Fund. He was co-founder of many 
coalitions including Professionals Coalition for Nuclear Arms Control, 
Coalition for the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Coalition to Reduce Nuclear 
Dangers and the Arms Transfer Working Group.
  Wayne has been an invaluable asset to the peace and disarmament 
community for many years. He will be missed. I wish him all the best in 
his retirement.
