                       IN MEMORY OF SIDNEY HARMAN

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DREIER. Madam Speaker, I was very saddened this morning to hear 
the news of the passing of the husband of our former colleague Jane 
Harman.
  Sidney Harman lived to, as the report came out, the ripe young age of 
almost 93. He was an amazing individual. I knew of him because of his 
great work in an organization called BENS, Business Executives for 
National Security. He also very famously took on the responsibility of 
what he described as an American icon, Newsweek magazine, when he made 
the decision to ensure that it would continue to thrive. And he has 
done a phenomenal job.
  And I'd like to say that our thoughts and prayers are with our former 
colleague Jane and the entire Harman family. The world is a greater 
place for Sidney Harman having lived and a lesser place for his 
passing.
