                       A TRIBUTE TO MARY CASSELL

                                 ______


                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the substantial 
contribution that Mary Cassell has made to the work of the Subcommittee 
on Elementary, Secondary, and Vocational Education over the last 8 
months.
  Mary is a Women's Research in Education Institute [WREI] fellow 
pursuing graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University. From her first 
day with the subcommittee, she tackled all tasks with enthusiasm and 
quickly became a fully contributing member of my subcommittee staff as 
we worked on H.R. 1804, Goals 2000: Educate America Act and H.R. 6, 
Improving America's Schools Act of 1994.
  The end of April brings the end of Mary's fellowship. I am sorry to 
see her go and am grateful for what she helped us accomplish this year: 
the President's Goals 2000 bill has been enacted into law--Public Law 
103-227--and H.R. 6, which reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act of 1965, has passed the House.
  Mary Cassell exemplifies the excellence that we all hope for in the 
variety of academic and policy fellows that come through our offices. 
During the last 8 months, she has represented well both the Women's 
Research in Education Institute and the Subcommittee on Elementary, 
Secondary, and Vocational Education.
  Mr. Speaker, I have often said that we need people in public service 
with good heads and hearts--and Mary is certainly one of these 
individuals. I want to thank her for all of her hard work and wish Mary 
well as she develops her career in public policy.
