I rise to share the shock, the deep grief, the sadness which has been expressed by the colleagues of Julian Dixon. As a Member of the Committee on Appropriations, I have always, always stood in awe of Julian Dixon. He is a person who would rise and only rise when he had something substantive to say. He would rise with elegance, authority, with grace, with respect. Julian Dixon has earned the respect of all of us in this Congress, and he exemplifies the very best of what a public servant should be. To his family, we just want them to know that our thoughts and prayers will always be with them. We will miss you, Julian.
