The husband of Representative Carolyn B. Maloney of New York has died after scaling a mountain peak during an expedition in Tibet.
His body is marooned on the slopes of Cho Oyu, a nearly 27,000-foot peak between the borders of China and Nepal.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will personally negotiate getting an airlift out of Tibet.
President Obama also called to offer support and condolences.
First elected to Congress in 1992, Carolyn B. Maloney is recognized as a national leader with extensive accomplishments on financial services, national security, the economy, and women’s issues.
Her career has been a series of firsts.
Maloney is the first woman to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District; the first woman to represent New York City’s 7th Councilmanic district (where she was the first woman to give birth while in office); and is currently the first woman to Chair the Joint Economic Committee, a House and Senate panel that examines and addresses the nation’s most pressing economic issues.
As a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee (and immediate past chair of its Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee), she has worked to modernize financial services laws and regulations, strengthen consumer protections, and institute more vigilant oversight of the safety and soundness of our nation’s banking industry.
Also a senior member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Maloney legislation has saved hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars.
