                    HONORING THE LATE ANNE BRUNSDALE

 Mr. COLEMAN. Mr. President, I would like to pay tribute to 
Anne Brunsdale, a Minnesota native and former chairwoman of the 
International Trade Commission who died of Alzheimer's disease on 
January 20 at a nursing home in Denver. She was 82.
  Ms. Brunsdale was born in Minneapolis and received a bachelor's 
degree in political science in 1945 and a master's degree in Far 
Eastern area studies in 1946 from the University of Minnesota. She 
received a master's degree in comparative government in 1949 from Yale 
University.

  In 1950, she moved to Washington to work for the CIA. Following the 
CIA, Anne was a resident fellow of the American Enterprise Institute 
for Public Policy Research and Managing Editor of Regulation, a 
bimonthly magazine published by the institute, where she worked closely 
with its two university-based editors, Antonin Scalia and Murray 
Weidenbaum. Under her guidance, Regulation became an influential 
publication in policy debates concerning government regulation of the 
energy, transportation, and communications industries.
  In 1985, President Reagan appointed Anne to the International Trade 
Commission where she served from 1986 to 1994, including a term as 
chairman from 1989 to 1990. She retired in 1994.
  Anne was a much loved member of a group of friends made up mostly of 
political scientists and public intellectuals that were notable for 
being both high-powered and bipartisan.
  Anne's survivors include a sister, 9 nieces and nephews, 17 great-
nieces and nephews and 5 great-great nieces and nephews.
  Mr. President, Anne Brunsdale will be remembered by friends and 
family with memorial services in Colorado and Minnesota. I extend my 
sympathy to them during this time.
