ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS 

TRIBUTE TO COL. RAYMOND W. 

O’KEEFE, U.S. ARMY 

∑ Ms. SNOWE. Mr. President, today I 

would like to congratulate Col. Raymond W. O’Keefe, a native son of 

Maine, who retired from the U.S. Army 

on June 1, 1995, after a distinguished 

career of faithful service to our Nation 

spanning 26 years. Throughout those 26 

years of service, Ray O’Keefe exemplified the true spirit of the United States 

cavalryman: ‘‘honor was his guide, resourcefulness his strength, and a passion for duty was his chief characteristic.’’

Colonel O’Keefe was commissioned 

through the Reserve Officers’ Training 

Corps as a second lieutenant in the 

Regular Army following his graduation 

from the University of Maine at Orono 

in June 1969. Over the course of his career, Colonel O’Keefe served in a variety of challenging troop and staff assignments in the United States, Germany, Korea, and Vietnam. Following 

completion of the Armor Officer’s 

Basic Course at Fort Knox, then-Lieutenant O’Keefe reported for duty with 

the 1st Squadron, 17th Cavalry, assigned to the elite 82nd Airborne Division, at Fort Bragg, NC. Lieutenant 

O’Keefe practiced his craft and honed 

his skills while serving in a variety of 

positions at the troop level. 

He arrived in Pleiku, in the Central 

Highlands of Vietnam, in December of 

1971, and assumed command of D 

Troop, 17th Cavalry. the Ia Drang Valley, sight of one of the first large battles of the war, was only thirty miles 

distant. One of the last major fights of 

the war, the Easter Offensive in March, 

mmaher on MIKETEMP with SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

S7706 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD— SENATE June 5, 1995 

1972, involved this same area, and Ray 

O’Keefe was there. 

His next assignment brought him to 

a post well-known in the annals of cavalry lore—Fort Riley, KS—the birthplace of the famous 7th Cavalry Regiment. Already an experienced combat 

veteran, Ray served with distinction as 

a troop commander and operations officer with the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry, 

refining his skills, coaching, and teaching the cavalrymen and officers entrusted to his care. 

Obviously, Ray O’Keefe stood out 

from his peers, for as an armor officer 

he was selected to attend Infantry Officers Advanced Course at the U.S. Army 

Infantry School. Selection to an advanced course of another branch is an 

indication that an officer has mastered 

his basic branch skills and is being 

groomed for positions of much greater 

responsibility. His follow-on assignment as a staff plans officer with the 

Joint Personnel Staff at Headquarters, 

8th U.S. Army, in Yong San, Korea, underscored the high regard in which he 

was held by his superiors. The assignment provided Ray valuable experience 

working with senior officers and those 

of the other Services and would serve 

him well in future assignments. 

Following promotion to major ahead 

of his peers, and with a Master of 

Science degree in Educational Administration in hand, Ray O’Keefe returned to New England. Assigned as 

the Assistant Professor of Military 

Science at the University of New 

Hampshire, he excelled as an instructor 

of young men and women. Those entrusted with attracting and developing 

our Army’s future leaders have a particularly important responsibility. Ray 

O’Keefe truly understood this responsibility and more than met the challenge. 

As a field grade officer, Ray continued with his service in a series of increasingly challenging assignments, 

this time in Germany. The cold war 

was at its height, and deterrence was 

the keystone of our defense policy. 

Trained and ready, Army forces provided NATO’s first line of defense in 

Europe against the Warsaw Pact. Serving 1 year as executive officer of the 

4th Battalion, 64th Armor, in 

Aschaffenburg, followed by almost 3 

years on the Operations and Plans staff 

of the 3rd Infantry Division in 

Wurzburg, then-Major O’Keefe was instrumental in successfully bringing the 

M1 Abrams main battle tank to the division. Personally selected by the commanding general as chief of training 

for the division, Ray soon became the 

recognized expert in Europe on fielding 

and training for the M1 tank. 

Battalion command is a challenge reserved for only the Army’s most capable and most promising officers. In 

June of 1984, then-Lieutenant Colonel 

O’Keefe’s demonstrated performance 

and potential resulted in his selection 

to command the 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry, a unit rich tradition. From its 

battalion colors fly streamers emblazoned with names we associate with 

gallantry, courage, sacrifice: Little Big 

Horn, Leyte, Korea. Equipped with 

tanks, helicopters, armored personnel 

carriers, and artillery, the division cavalry squadron is perhaps one of the 

most lethal fighting organizations 

within the Army and one of the most 

challenging to effectively command. 

Its mission was one of the cold war’s 

most difficult and sensitive—patrolling 

the border between freedom and tyranny in Europe. Under Ray O’Keefe’s 

expert hand, the troopers of the 3rd 

Squadron patrolled the intra-German 

border 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

Tough, realistic training and competent, confident leadership were rewarded in 1985 when the 3rd Squadron 

captured the prestigious Flynn Cup, 

awarded to the best border squadron in 

the VII Corps. Through sustained superior performance, Ray O’Keefe proved 

he had what it took to command and 

care for 1,200 soldiers and their families. 

The Joint Staff provided Ray O’Keefe 

another opportunity to excel. Assigned 

as Chief of the Operations, Training, 

and Exercise Branch in the National 

Military Command Center, he played a 

key role in every world crisis for almost 2 years. Colonel O’Keefe developed and wrote the required operational concept for what was to become 

the automated Crisis Management System, now the heart of the Joint Chiefs 

of Staff crisis management response. 

The impact of this contribution to our 

Nation cannot be overstated. 

Colonel O’Keefe culminated his service as Chief, Congressional Activities 

Division, Office of the Chief of Staff, 

U.S. Army. In this capacity, Ray once 

again set the standard preparing senior 

Army leadership for their personal 

interactions with Congress, including 

confirmations, congressional testimony, and meetings with Members of 

Congress. Ray also supervised preparation and publication of the Army’s annual Posture Statement and Focus periodical. Both General Sullivan and 

Secretary West have come to rely on 

Ray O’Keefe’s sound judgment, keen 

insight, and sage advice. In this assignment, as in all the others throughout 

his career, Ray has been in the vanguard working to ensure that America’s Army maintains, the warrior’s 

edge. 

Col. Raymond W. O’Keefe is indeed 

the quintessential leader. His selfless 

service, commitment to excellence, and 

caring professionalism have continually provided inspiration to those 

with whom he has served. This exceptional officer truly personifies those 

traits of courage, competency, and integrity that our Nation has come to expect from our Army officers. When he 

was needed, he was there. He has 

served our Nation well, and our heartfelt appreciation and best wishes for 

continued success go with him.∑ 

THE BUDGET RESOLUTION FOR 

FISCAL YEAR 1996 

∑ Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I was 

forced to cast my vote against the 

budget resolution for the upcoming fiscal year. 

As a member of the Budget Committee, I take seriously my responsibilities to form and oversee our Nation’s budget. Accordingly, I believe 

the budget resolution is one of the 

most important documents produced 

by the Congress each year. 

This resolution is critical legislation 

because it sets our Nation’s priorities. 

It steers our economic policies. And, it 

carries weight with the American people. 

I believe this process should be used 

to give the American people hope. The 

American people deserve a sound budget, which reflects their spending priorities. And, they deserve economic security in youth as well as in older years. 

Unfortunately, Mr. President, this 

budget fulfills none of these requirements. It is truly the worst of slash 

and burn politics. It is misguided economic policy. It robs our constituents 

of hope and our children of their future. 

Mr. President, our colleagues offered 

a number of amendments which would 

have gone a long way to improve this 

bill. 

I must say, Mr. President, I was 

pleased that a strong bipartisan coalition of Senators supported a sense of 

the Senate measure I offered on impact 

aid. Impact aid is critical educational 

assistance for our federally impacted 

school districts. I hope my amendment 

will ensure that the Federal Government lives up to its responsibilities to 

our Nation’s schoolchildren who live on 

Federal property. That is the minimum 

we owe the children of our women and 

men in uniform, and I am pleased the 

distinguished chairman of the Budget 

Committee, Mr. DOMENICI, accepted my 

amendment as part of his resolution. 

Unfortunately, many other amendments which would have improved this 

bill failed to pass on largely party-line 

votes. 

I was pleased to support a substitute 

budget proposed by my friend, the Senator from North Dakota, Mr. CONRAD. 

His proposal—the fair share plan—

reached balance, closed loopholes, excluded Social Security, but smoothed 

the glidepath of reduced spending. It is 

my sincere belief that the budget proposed by Senator CONRAD would have 

been a better starting point than the 

one put forth by my Republican colleagues. The Conrad plan was not perfect, but it would have been better for 

our children, our elderly, the environment, and the most vulnerable members of our society. 

My friends, the distinguished junior 

Senator from South Carolina, Senator 

HOLLINGS, and the Senator from Iowa, 

Mr. HARKIN, offered a wise amendment 

which aimed at restoring the draconian 

cuts to education. I was pleased to 

speak in favor of this amendment, and
