Mr. Speaker. I would like to take a moment to recognize the passing of a remarkable person and dedicated citizen. Mr. Seymour Durst. the son of an Austrian immigrant. Seymour Durst became a successful developer of commercial real estate in New York City. But he will probably be best remembered as the individual responsible for installing the national debt clock in Times Square in New York City in 1988. Due to his intense personal commitment to making all Americans aware of the silent and evergrowing danger of our national debt and its attendant interest costs. Mr. Durst sponsored the national debt clock from his private means from 1988 until today.
