                              WALTER ZABEL

  (Mr. ISSA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, today many will address the House here and 
later in the day on subjects of great current importance, certainly the 
upholding of the President's health care initiative and, certainly, in 
fact, the contempt vote we're going to hear in a few minutes.
  But this moment belongs to the people of San Diego. Walter Zabel died 
this week at 97. Normally, when someone dies at 97, they have long 
since retired. He, on the other hand, was still the inspiration for 
Cubic Corporation, a company he founded that did so much for our 
national defense over his 50-plus years at its helm. We cannot forget 
he was in the office less than a week ago. He was still providing 
stewardship, still receiving the technical benefits of his engineers, 
and still making sure that America was safe.
  Today in San Diego is Walter Zabel Day. It is not a day for the other 
discussions of the House.
