                         RICHARD MILHOUS NIXON

                                 ______


                           HON. PETER T. KING

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. KING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to our 37th 
President and one of the greatest Americans of this century--Richard 
Milhous Nixon.
  Richard Nixon was a dedicated patriot and the most outstanding 
foreign policy President of this century. For more than four decades he 
demonstrated unsurpassed courage in enduring unrelenting attacks from 
the liberal media. History will remember Richard Nixon far more for his 
extraordinary achievements than for his very human failings. Richard 
Nixon was an American giant on the world stage and his unique knowledge 
and talents will be sorely missed.
  I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to meet with 
President Nixon on several occasions, and had the privilege of working 
as an intern in his New York law firm in 1966 and 1967.
  President Nixon has left behind him a rich historical legacy. In the 
eloquent words of Senator Bob Dole, spoken at President Nixon's funeral 
last night, ``Richard Nixon was an American hero.''
