                                LU YOUNG

  Mr. BEGICH. Mr. President, before yielding the floor, I wish to mark 
the passing of a great Alaskan--Lu Young, the wife of Alaska's long-
time Congressman Don Young.
  Lu passed away suddenly over the weekend. Lu was an Alaskan of true 
distinction. I am proud to have shared a friendship with her for 
several decades.
  Our State is better because of her service and many contributions. 
The thoughts and prayers of Alaskans and me are with Representative 
Young and his family.
  I yield back the remainder of my time.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Alaska.
