    JAMES M. ``MIKE'' LAMBE RETIRES FROM DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

  Mr. WALLOP. Mr. President, today I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Mr. James M. Lambe on his retirement as Deputy Assistant 
Director of Legislative and Congressional Affairs for the National Park 
Service.
  Mr. President, Mike has been the backbone of the NPS legislative 
program. There is not a National Park Service area that has not 
benefited by his work and attention to detail. He will be missed not 
only by his friends but also by innumerable staff, Senators, and 
Congressmen throughout Capitol Hill, and staff with the executive 
branch.
  Mike's departure from Interior after almost 36 years of distinguished 
Federal service marks a high degree of commitment and dedication to the 
issues of the National Park Service.
  Mike began his career with the Department of Agriculture as a 
forestry aid on the Kaniksu National Forest in Idaho and then moved to 
the U.S. Geological Survey until he assumed a position with the 
National Park Service in 1961. Since that time he has been actively 
involved on the legislative agenda of the Service which has produced 
numerous new and expanded park areas. His assistance to the Congress 
has been invaluable. His departure and the knowledge and history that 
he will take with him, will leave a void that will be most difficult to 
fill.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in commending James M. ``Mike'' Lambe 
on his retirement and in thanking him for 36 years of dedicated service 
to the Nation and its national parks.
