Washington, D.C. - I am deeply saddened by the news that Congressman Lantos is ill and will retire from Congress at the end of this term.

I have the deepest admiration for his life of courage and accomplishment. I have been privileged to work under his leadership on the Foreign Affairs Committee, where we have served together since I came to Congress in 1997. He speaks with a voice of moral authority that is unparalleled in Congress.

More importantly, he has been a great friend. Our prayers are with Tom, Annette and their entire family.
