                     REMEMBERING RICHARD HOLBROOKE

  Mr. UDALL of New Mexico. Madam President, I wish to echo the comments 
of Senator Leahy on Ambassador Holbrooke. My sense was, Ambassador 
Holbrooke was a remarkable diplomat and public servant. I got to see 
him both when he was in his public position and a private position. He 
was always dedicated to peace in the world. I remember reading his 
book, ``To End a War,'' which was about the Balkans, and sharing it 
with my father and my father having discussions with him on the phone. 
He said: This diplomat, Richard Holbrooke, is a remarkable guy.
  If you read that book, it is a classic about bringing peace to a very 
difficult situation. I express my heartfelt condolences to his wife 
Kati Marton and his two children, David and Anthony Holbrooke. I tell 
the family we will miss him very much on the international scene.
