much has been written about this giant public figure, richard holbrooke. today i would like to focus on his extraordinary contributions, briefly, to the asia society, an institution that he loved very deeply for more than four decades. richard holbrooke was first spotted as a young with man with real promise by our founder, john d. rockefeller iii. mr. rockefeller invited this young diplomat to participate in our annual williamsburg policy die hog in 1972 -- dialogue in 972 and stayed in touch with him through the late '70s when richard served as assistant secretary of state for east asia with president carter and was heavily involved in the normalization of relations between china and the united states. we lost richard to europe and to global affairs in the 1990s, but he came back to his early love for the asia society when he became chairman of our organization in 2002 and remained our leader in that position until january of 2009. when he entered into government service this time as special representative for afghanistan and pakistan. to say that richar

richard holbrooke and dr.enry kissinger are often referred to as the great american diplomats of the second half of the 20th century. mr. holbrooke had many accomplishments to his credit. perhaps the one that shines brightest are the so-called dayton accords, reached in dayton, ohio, in 1995, which brought peace to the balkans. he would later write a best- selling book about that called to end a war. i had the pleasure of sitting down with him in manhattan. he was working as an investment banker at credit suisse, and he was working precisely on that book, and we discussed the dayton accords. here once again is richard holbrooke, who passed away unexpectedly last month at the age of 69. ambassador holbrooke, there are a lot of good diplomats around the world who, as diplomats should do, are called upon to ease tensions and bring about agreements. we've had boutros- ghali on the show, and pérez de cuéllar, and dr. kissinger, but you have stood out from your class, so to speak, your graduating class of diplomats.
