                        TRIBUTE TO LIONEL KUNST

                                 ______


                           HON. DAN GLICKMAN

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 1994

  Mr. GLICKMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Lionel J. 
Kunst, of Overland Park, KS. Mr. Kunst died on April 7 at the age of 
71.
  Lionel was truly a man with a zest for politics and a zest for life. 
He worked on the Presidential campaigns of Adlai Stevenson, George 
McGovern, and Hubert Humphrey. He was a former Democratic candidate for 
both the Senate and the House, running against Senator Bob Dole In 1986 
and Representative Jan Meyers in 1988. He also was the cofounder of the 
Coalition to End the Permanent Congress, a national group battling 
congressional incumbency.
  Lionel Kunst sang to his own tune, and was strongly committed to 
reforming our Nation's campaign finance laws. His work with the 
Coalition to End the Permanent Congress spurred the formation of the 
Independence Party, an alternative to the Democratic and Republican 
parties.
  He was greatly devoted to improving government and worked 
relentlessly for political reform. He will be greatly missed.
  


                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place, 
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Thursday, April 21, 1994, may be found in the 
Daily Digest of today's Record.
