WASHINGTON – Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, made the following statement today:
“I was deeply saddened to learn of Senator Inouye’s passing today. His career in the United States Senate was as distinguished as it was extensive. He helped steer this nation through triumphs and tragedies, victories and defeats. And he towered above us all with his incredible gallantry and heroism in the Second World War. His passing leaves a long shadow in Congress. My prayers are for him and with his family during this holiday season.”
