                   TRIBUTE TO MARJORIE MARIE DOWLING

                                 ______


                         HON. NORMAN Y. MINETA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 1994

  Mr. MINETA. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition and appreciation of 
the long years of service to the Public Works and Transportation 
Committee of Mrs. Marjorie Marie Dowling, a staff assistant with the 
committee assigned to our Economic Development Subcommittee. Marge is 
retiring this summer after some 20 years with our committee and an 
additional 7 years of service to the Federal Government.
  Originally from Ohio, Marge worked for a time with her husband in his 
law practice, and as a secretary in the Office of Education. After 
dedicating a number of years to raising her family, Marge returned to 
the work force in 1975 accepting a position with the Public Works and 
Transportation Committee. Marge has been a valued and dedicated member 
of our committee staff since that time, and a special friend to each of 
us who have worked with her over the years. Marge is a devoted 
professional whose quiet and gentle manner has been an asset during 
many hectic hours of subcommittee hearings, markups, and preparations 
for consideration of legislation on the House floor.
  I join with Marge's many friends and colleagues on the committee in 
wishing her, and her husband Garland, good health and an extra measure 
of happiness in their retirement.
