I rise today to pay tribute to a very special woman, Mrs. Rebecca "Polly" Guggenheim Logan, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 90. Mrs. Logan was a prominent Washingtonian and internationally recognized philanthropist whose efforts greatly benefited humanity. Mr. President, I am not exaggerating when I say that Polly Logan was a woman who was admired and respected by many and that all those who knew her are deeply saddened by her death. It was my pleasure to not only count Mrs. Logan as a friend, but to serve her as her U.S. Senator as she and her husband owned a large plantation just outside Charleston, SC, where they spent their winters. I join her family and friends in mourning the loss of this truly unique and remarkable woman whose work touched the lives of countless individuals.
