             TRIBUTE TO THE LATE HONORABLE SAM B. HALL, JR.

  (Mr. MAZZOLI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MAZZOLI. Mr. Speaker, it was my great pleasure to have served in 
this body with Sam B. Hall, Jr., the former Member from the city of 
Marshall, TX. Sam, after serving in this body, was elevated to the 
position of a Federal judge and served in the Eastern District of the 
Federal court system in Texas, until, unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, his 
death on this past Saturday.
  Sam and I sat side-by-side on the Committee on the Judiciary for a 
number of years. Sam and Madeline, his wonderful bride and now widow, 
and Helen and I, have been friends for a long time and shared many a 
convivial moment and many a nice meal.
  So it is with great sadness that I note his passing, and would 
encourage all of our colleagues who did serve with Sam to express their 
condolences and grievances to Madeline and to the family.
  When Sam was here, he was a very fine Member. On the bench he was an 
outstanding Federal judge, and he served his country and he served his 
State with great distinction.
  I certainly note with great sadness his passing and express my 
condolences and my sympathies to Madeline and to the daughters and to 
the family.
