WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Democratic National
Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement on the death
of California Congressman Tom Lantos:
"Our nation has lost a great public servant with the passing of
Representative Tom Lantos. In serving his constituents and his country, Tom
never forgot the Democratic Party's ideals of freedom, fairness, and
opportunity for all. As Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, he
was an authority on foreign policy issues and a voice for the oppressed.
The only Holocaust survivor in Congress, he was a forceful and passionate
advocate for civil liberties and human rights. Today, I join with countless
others across the country in offering my thoughts and prayers to Rep.
Lantos' family and friends as we honor his life and legacy."
