I would soulfully report to this body the loss of a great Member, Congressman Steve Solarz, who just left us. He passed away at the age of 70 years. He served in this body from 1975 to 1992. Republican or Democrat, he loved this country, and he fought hard for a sound foreign policy. At this point, I would like to yield to Congressman Jerry Nadler, whose district now takes in a great part of former Congressman Solarz' congressional district.
