                RECEPTION OF FORMER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

  The Speaker of the House presided.
  The SPEAKER. The Chair would like to have an opportunity at this 
point to welcome our former Members, who have come again for this 
wonderful opportunity for us to share their friendship and remembrance 
and recollection of previous service together. I am delighted to have 
the opportunity now to recognize distinguished Members who are former 
Members of the House, but before I do that, I would like to recognize 
the distinguished Republican leader, Mr. Michel.
  Mr. MICHEL. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. May I simply say to our former 
members that we are always glad to see you come back. I think our ranks 
look a little depleted this morning. Maybe we ought to convene this 
meeting about 1 or 2 o'clock. As we all get a little older, we do not 
like to get up early in the morning, but the Speaker is obliged to do 
so, and so is the minority leader. We are here, Johnny on the spot.
  I would like to tell the former Members that things keep changing 
around here. I doubt whether any one of the former Members would have 
experienced a period of time during their tenure when in one class 
there were 110 new Members. That happened this last time around. People 
talk about a renewal of the Congress, or the need for term limits or 
some such thing. When we think about it in practical terms, a quarter 
of the House renewed last time. This year already we have retirement 
announcements that will almost rival last year's, including 
resignations and those running for Governor, Senator, et cetera. We are 
going to have, after the next election, a House of Representatives 
where nearly 50 percent will have less than two terms. It is going to 
be quite a different House of Representatives, as I see it.
  As many of you know, I have announced my own intention to bow out, 
and have made that official. I already have a successor hopefully on 
the right track to succeed me. I guess it could be said that next year 
at this time I will be joining your ranks.
  It is a funny thing how people approach you about it. I was kind of 
taken aback when even back home they are congratulating me, and I said, 
``What for?'' ``Well, for announcing your retirement.'' You kind of get 
mixed emotions about that. It seems that they are darn glad you are 
leaving, you know.
  It is nice to have those of you who do come back from time to time to 
visit with us. One of the things I have missed, particularly since the 
advent of our electronic voting, is the fact that we can observe so 
much of what goes on here on the floor on the television monitor back 
in our office. It might be good for the American people, but the bad 
part about it for the institution is that we are not communicating with 
one another across the aisle as frequently as we did. Let's face it, 
all those debates you listened to were not always the most sparkling, 
interesting, or enlightening kinds of things. There were dull moments, 
but when we were here we used those dull moments to visit with one 
another, get to know each other better. It was a different kind of 
institution at that time than it is today.
  I guess all I can do is satisfy in my own mind that times do change. 
The Republic has endured. This House and the Senate, they have changed 
dramatically over a period of years, so I guess we will just simply 
have to live with it.
  Again, I say thanks to all of you for coming back and giving us an 
opportunity to renew our friendship.
  The SPEAKER. The Chair might make a comment that in addition to 
having a 1993 class of the 103d Congress of 110 Members, the largest 
since 1948, most expectation is that next year, when on January 3 I 
hope and expect to be swearing in the first session of the 104th 
Congress, it is now estimated that probably half of the House will have 
served 4 years or less on that day, and many of us have to be reminded 
that the vast number of Members of this Congress did not serve in 
President Carter's administration, an increasingly great number did not 
serve in President Reagan's administration, and have only been recently 
elected, so you will see a number of new faces, a great number of new 
faces, as the Members come into the Chamber.
  Particularly for us who have had the honor and pleasure of serving 
with so many of you, it is a wonderful opportunity to see you again and 
to greet you and to welcome you back to the House.
  It is now my great pleasure to ask the gentleman from Arizona, the 
distinguished former Republican Leader of the House, John J. Rhodes, 
Jr., to come forward and take the gavel and the chair, and to preside 
over this session.
  Mr. JOHN J. RHODES, Jr. (presiding). This is a real pleasure, it 
always is. I want to say something to my friend, Bob Michel. When I led 
the applause when you announced that you were about to retire, it was 
because of my deep affection for you and the fact that you are going to 
be a member of the Association of Former Members. I must admit that 
that was half of me. The other half was sorry that you are leaving the 
House, because as my successor as the Republican leader. I have always 
been proud of you, and I still am, and I thank you for the fine service 
that you have given.
  One of the things which I often thought has taken away from some of 
the collegiality that we used to have is the difficulty in getting to 
know other people, particularly those who serve on the party which is 
not your party. If you will recall, most of you, when we had the 
rollcall by the Clerk, you could be on the floor and somebody, the 
Clerk, would say, ``Lindsay,'' and somebody would say, ``Here,'' and 
you could say, ``There is Lindsay,'' and that is the way you got to 
know the faces, at least, and later you got to know the individual.

                              {time}  0940

  I am not suggesting that we turn the clock back and go back to the 
old days of calling the roll, but I do think that there ought to be 
some better way than I think there is for the Members to get to know 
each other. I am just naive enough to believe that if that could occur, 
the whole attitude of a lot of the Members might change to be more like 
it was back in the old days.
  The Clerk will now call the roll of former Members of Congress.
  The Clerk called the roll of the former Members of the Congress, and 
the following former Members answered to their names:

gentleman from Missouri, Jim Symington, the President of this august 
assemblage.
  Mr. SYMINGTON. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of my colleagues, I am pleased to present our 
24th Annual Report to the Congress. Although marked by a grievous loss 
to which I shall later refer, it has been a full and productive year.
  The Association has continued its successful Congressional/Campus 
Fellows Program in which former Members of Congress visit college, 
university and high school campuses for 2 to 5 days to share their 
practical political experience with students, faculty and community 
representatives to help them better understand the Congress. To date, 
71 former Members of Congress have made a total of 230 such visits to 
164 institutions in 49 States. Most recently our colleague, Lindy 
Boggs, former Louisiana Representative, combined a high school visit 
and a college visit in one highly successful trip to Minnesota's Twin 
Cities. Both institutions reported what should be no surprise to us 
that ``Lindy wowed them.'' The Congressional/Campus Fellows Program was 
begun in 1974 under a grant from the Ford Foundation and has been 
continued through a number of other corporate and foundation 
contributions. In the light of what I think it is fair to say can be 
perceived as an erosion of respect for this national representative 
body, the Members of our Association believe it is very important to 
take advantage of every opportunity to encourage young people to learn 
about the political process and to participate in it. We know the need 
is great for this program and would like to expand it as, and if, 
appropriate resources become available.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask permission to insert in the Record at this point 
the list of the institutions that have been visited by former Members 
of Congress.

  The Association has continued serving as the secretariat for the 
Congressional Study Group on Germany, which is the largest and most 
active exchange program between the U.S. Congress and the Parliament of 
another country. It is a bipartisan group involving more than 100 
Representatives and Senators which provides opportunities for Members 
of Congress to meet with their counterparts in the German Bundestag to 
facilitate better understanding and greater cooperation. The 
Congressional Study Group on Germany is an unofficial and informal 
organization open to all Members of Congress.
  In addition to hosting a number of Members of the Bundestag and other 
German Government leaders at the Capitol this past year, the Study 
Group hosted the Sixth Annual German-American Day Celebration in 
October 1993. Dr. Klaus Kinkel, Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister, 
and Dr. Dieter-Julius Cronenberg, Vice President of the Bundestag, 
participated in the celebration along with a delegation of Members of 
the Bundestag and representatives from the German Foreign Ministry. In 
April 1994, the 11th Annual Congress-Bundestag Seminar was held on the 
Outer Banks of North Carolina in which seven Members of Congress and 
six Members of the Bundestag participated, along with former Members of 
Congress and the Bundestag and German and American speakers and other 
guests.
  This program is funded principally by the German Marshall Fund of the 
United States. It has included joint meetings of the Agriculture 
Committees of Congress and the Bundestag and visits by Members of the 
Bundestag to observe the Illinois Presidential Primary and the Iowa 
Caucus, as well as to Congressional Districts throughout the country 
with Members of Congress to learn about the U.S. political process at 
the grassroots level. Because of the election schedules in the United 
States and Germany in 1994, a German-American Day celebration is not 
being planned, but it is hoped that a seminar can be held to introduce 
the new Members of Congress and the Bundestag to the importance of 
United States-German relations. This year's chairman of the 
Congressional Study Group on Germany in the House is Representative H. 
Martin Lancaster of North Carolina. The Vice Chairman is Representative 
Bill Emerson of Missouri. Senators William V. Roth, Jr. of Delaware and 
Thomas A. Daschle of South Dakota serve as cochairmen of the 
Congressional Study Group on Germany in the Senate.
  In March of this year, the Association, in cooperation with the 
Herbert Quandt Foundation and the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced 
International Studies of the Johns Hopkins University and funded by the 
Quandt Foundation, convened an international conference on ``The United 
States and Europe: Transatlantic Relations Beyond 2000.'' Political 
leaders, scholars, business and media representatives from the United 
States, Western and Eastern Europe discussed these issues and 
deliberated on the future of the Transatlantic Community.
  Another project of the Association's, in cooperation with the East-
West Center, is the Congressional Japanese Study Group, which was 
initiated in January 1993. It is currently led by Senator William V. 
Roth, Jr. of Delaware as chairman and Representative Lee H. Hamilton of 
Indiana as vice chairman. An unofficial, informal and bipartisan group 
open to all Members of Congress, it has 67 members and an additional 34 
Members of Congress have asked to be kept informed of activities. The 
objectives of the study group are to develop a congressional forum for 
the sustained study and analysis of policy options on major issues in 
United States-Japan relations, and to increase opportunities for 
Members of Congress to meet with their counterparts in the Japanese 
Diet for frank discussion of those key issues. Initially, the Study 
Group is focusing attention on four major areas of concern to 
legislators in both countries: aid to Russia; United States and 
Japanese role in the Asia Pacific Region; bilateral trade and economic 
relations; and certain global issues. In a series of roundtable 
discussions that have been held throughout the year, United States and 
Japanese Government officials and nongovernmental experts have explored 
these issues in-depth. Initial funding to launch the Study Group and to 
support its programs has been provided by the Ford Foundation, the 
Japan-United States Friendship Commission, and the Laurasian 
Institution.

  A special project grant from the Center for Global Partnership gave 
support for the ``United States-Japan Issues Meeting'' in Lanai, HI in 
February of this year which brought together current and former Members 
of Congress and the Japanese Diet, academicians, business 
representatives, and other government personnel to discuss major issues 
of mutual concern. Its signal success leads us to hope regular 
opportunities of this kind may be provided.
  Another facet of the Association's program with Japan was the 
continuation of the Japanese Congressional Fellows Program. In the 
past, staff members participating in this program had been selected 
from nominations made by the Secretaries General of the House of 
Councillors and the House of Representatives of the Japanese Diet. In 
1993, the Association broadened the program to invite nominations from 
the Japanese political party structure so that in the fall of 1993, 
under funding from the Center for Global Partnership, two staff members 
from the Policy Research Councils--one from the Liberal Democratic 
Party and one from the Komeito Party--participated in the program. They 
spent approximately 60 days in the United States, during which time, 
the Association arranged for them to serve in congressional offices and 
to meet with staff in the Congressional Research Service of the Library 
of Congress, the Congressional Budget Office, and other support 
institutions of the U.S. Congress. The fellows also attended special 
academic lectures and visited congressional districts with Members of 
Congress.
  The Japanese Congressional Fellows Program has proven to be extremely 
helpful to the staff members of the Diet and to the political parties. 
The experiences of the fellowship benefit not only the participants but 
also the colleagues with whom they share their experience. The time 
spent by the Japanese fellows in offices also has been extremely 
beneficial to United States congressional staff members by refining 
their understanding of the Japanese political process, and of Japan, 
per se.
  The Association's program to aid the emerging democracies in Central 
and Eastern Europe also has continued to expand. In September and 
October 1993, the Association, under a grant from the United States 
Information Agency, hosted a delegation of four parliamentarians from 
the Czech Republic for a 2-week visit in the United States. During 
their week-long visit in Washington, the parliamentarians met with a 
number of current and former Members of Congress, including 
Representative Martin Frost of Texas, Chairman of the House Task Froce 
on Eastern Europe, other government representatives and personnel of 
congressional support institutions. They also traveled to Cleveland and 
Chicago for discussions with business, academic, and community leaders 
who have particular interests in the Czech Republic, as well as with 
State legislators and local government leaders.
  Also under the grant from the U.S. Information Agency, our first 
Congressional Fellow, Bulcsu Veress, successfully completed his second 
year providing technical assistance to the Parliament of Hungary. It is 
evident from a letter received from the President of the Hungarian 
National Assembly that Dr. Veress' 2 years in Hungary were highly 
productive. His counsel was welcomed by the administrative staff of the 
National Assembly. He assisted in the drafting of the new rules of the 
House and translated into English for further comparison and analysis 
the entire yearly legislative output of the Hungarian National 
Assembly.
  Building upon this first successful venture of sending a 
Congressional Fellow to provide technical assistance to a new 
Parliament, the Association applied for and received a grant from the 
Pew Charitable Trusts. Under this grant, one Congressional Fellow has 
been sent to Slovakia, Jon Holstine, and another to Ukraine, Clifford 
Downen, for 1 year, with the possibility of renewal for a second year, 
to work with the Members and staffs of those respective Parliaments. It 
is anticipated that a third Congressional Fellow will be sent to 
Bulgaria later this year or next year on a similar assignment.
  The Association has continued its program of hospitality and 
orientation for distinguished international visitors, parliamentarians, 
cabinet ministers, judges, academicians and journalists here at the 
Capitol. This program, originally funded by the Ford Foundation, has 
been continued under grants from the German Marshall Fund of the United 
States. It has enabled us to host 292 events--breakfasts, luncheons, 
dinners and receptions--for visitors from 82 countries and the European 
Parliament. It has proved a genuine resource for communication and 
understanding between Members of Congress and leaders of other nations.
  Two invaluable comparative studies have been prepared by the 
Association in connection with these ongoing initiatives: ``The 
Japanese Diet and the U.S. Congress'' and ``The U.S. Congress and the 
German Bundestag.'' The latter has been particularly helpful to the new 
parliamentarians of Central and Eastern Europe.
  Mr. Speaker, needless to say, these programs could not be conducted 
without financial support, and on behalf of the Association, I want to 
thank our many contributors who continue to make them possible. At this 
point, I would like to insert in the Record the list of our financial 
sponsors.

  In addition to our work with current parliamentarians, we maintain 
close relations with associations similar to ours, that is, former 
members of the parliaments of other countries. In this connection, Mr. 
Speaker, I am pleased to recognize and welcome several representatives 
of those associations who are with us today: Jack Ellis and Barry 
Turner of the Canadian Association of Former Parliamentarians; Georg C. 
Ehrnrooth of the Finnish Association of Former Members of Parliament; 
Ellen Lauterbach of the Association of Former Members of the German 
Bundestag; and Giuseppe Vedovato of the Association of Former 
Parliamentarians of the Italian Republic. These relationships have been 
particularly rewarding, and we look forward to exploring further 
cooperative efforts to promote and assist parliamentary forms of 
government.
  Mr. Speaker, it is now my sad duty to inform the House of those 
persons who have served in the Congress and who have passed away since 
our report 2 years ago:
  Jerome A. Ambro of New York;
  Ross Bass of Tennessee;
  Jackson E. Betts of Ohio;
  Iris F. Blitch of Georgia;
  J. Caleb Boggs of Delaware;
  Lyle H. Boren of Oklahoma;
  Frank P. Briggs of Missouri;
  J. Herbert Burke of Florida;
  Gene Chappie of California;
  Earl Chudoff of Pennsylvania;

  William L. Springer of Illinois;
  Newton I. Steers of Maryland;
  Robert Taft, Jr. of Ohio;
  Herbert Tenzer of New York;
  George M. Wallhauser of New Jersey;
  Charles L. Weltner of Georgia;
  I would like to ask for a moment of silence in their memory.
  It is now my happy duty to report that nominated to be our 
Association's new President is our colleague Philip Ruppe of Michigan, 
and as Vice President, Lindy Boggs of Louisiana. So the leadership of 
the Association will be in capable and experienced hands.
  Each year, the Association presents a Distinguished Service Award. 
This award rotates between political parties as do our officers. Last 
year's recipient on the Democratic side was former Illinois 
Representative Abner J. Mikva. This year the Republican recipient is 
the distinguished former Ohio Representative Clarence J. ``Bud'' Brown.
  Clarence J. ``Bud'' Brown's 17 years as the Representative for the 
Seventh District of Ohio built upon a family tradition of legislative 
service, for Bud succeeded his own father after the latter had served 
13 terms from 1939 to 1965. Bud would likely have equaled or exceeded 
his Dad's legislative tenure had he not won the GOP nomination for 
Governor of Ohio half way through his ninth term. In 1983, he accepted 
the post of Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce. 
Serving beside his good friend, and one of the Nation's greatest 
Secretaries, Malcolm Baldrige, Bud won instant recognition for his 
sound policies and administrative skills. A U.S. Navy veteran of both 
World War II and the Korean war, Bud graduated from Duke University 
with a degree in economics, and won his MBA at Harvard at the age of 
21. A shining example of the Former Members' axiom that public service 
does not end with public officer, Bud brought his skills to the Kennedy 
School of Government, and the American Enterprise Institute, as a 
fellow of both institutions. A devotee of American history and 
tradition, Bud found the perfect expression of these interests when, in 
September 1992, he was named President and Chief Executive Officer of 
the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, succeeding the Honorable Fred 
Schwengel. Finally, it should not only be noted but emphasized that Bud 
Brown's tenure as President of the U.S. Association of Former Members 
of Congress did us all proud. His extraordinary vigor, perception and 
dedication mark his service to our Association.
  So, it is my great pleasure to present to him, on behalf of our 
Association, a volume of letters from his former colleagues in the 
Congress and this plaque and gavel which commemorate this special 
occasion and this award presented on behalf of his colleagues who 
served with him in the Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield to Bud Brown.

                              {time}  1000

  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Jim, thank you for those kind words. If the acting 
Speaker will forgive, and if my Republican colleagues will forgive and 
certainly if the current Speaker will forgive me, I will speak from 
this podium rather than the one I normally spoke from when I was in the 
Congress. It looks OK, does it?
  Jim, I thank you for those kind words, and I thank all of my friends 
in the Association of Former Members of Congress for the award, which I 
choose to call historic. In my current role as president of the U.S. 
Capitol Historical Society, I am now looking at everything in historic 
terms, and some of that, of course, may be the result of advancing age.
  However, I must assure you that without much thought, I can count 
many other Members with whom I served or who have served since I left 
the Congress who are much more deserving of this honor than I. Even 
more embarrassing, several of them are in this room today.
  I am not naming them because it might stimulate some kind of a recall 
petition and I certainly do not want that to happen.
  As a matter of fact, when I informed one of my former colleagues that 
I had taken the post I now enjoy with the Capitol Historical Society, 
he thought for a minute and said to me, ``It is probably a good idea, 
Bud, since you couldn't make history when you were in the Congress, at 
least you can now rewrite it,'' a temptation that has occurred to me 
from time to time.
  That reminds me also to thank Jim for the very graceful way in which 
you handled, Jim, my race for Governor in 1982. With a Republican 
President that year in the White House, I was trying to succeed a term-
limited Republican Governor in Ohio in the worst economy we had 
experienced since 1932, when my father ran for Governor of Ohio as a 
Republican and lost.
  We just do not learn a hell of a lot in my family about politics, one 
generation over the next.
  Like Jim Symington, though, I must say I am also proud of Jim and the 
wonderful job he has done this year, perhaps, except for this 
selection, heading up the Association of Former Members at a time we 
had some very severe challenges with the death of Jed Johnson. But, 
Jim, you did a nice job with that comment. Like you, I am proud of my 
dad and my family heritage in politics. After 27 years here, my dad 
died in office. I believe he would have been amazed that I succeeded 
him; my mother, of course, would have been justified, but both of them 
would be very proud today.
  My dad never got to be a former Member of Congress, but he would have 
enjoyed this organization because he liked nothing more than telling 
stories about political personalities, old-time events in politics.
  One of his homilies was to assure me that if I ever went into 
politics, there was no good way out of it. You either retired to do 
something else, he said, in which case no one remembers your name about 
6 months later, or you get defeated, which tends to discredit you, or 
you die at the height of your power and there is damn little comfort in 
that.
  Well, I went through that experience. First, I want to say it is a 
demanding and consuming job and, as 110 of our colleagues who left last 
year will tell you, it takes a while to get over it.
  Soon after I left the House, I ran into a former colleague and an old 
friend I had admired very much, Bob Giaimo of Connecticut, the first 
chairman of the Committee on the Budget, who had retired a few years 
earlier. ``How are you handling retirement,'' Bob said in a very 
gracious way. ``Oh, fine,'' I told him, ``I didn't like losing the Ohio 
gubernatorial race to an Italian Democrat, but I am taking it all 
right.'' I said that without any effort at political correctness.
  Somewhat more gently, with a hand on my arm, he said, ``Seriously, 
Bud, how are you handling it?'' I said, ``Well, I dreamed the other 
night I had heard the bells ringing and I was late for a vote that I 
hadn't decided how I was going to cast, and I think I am driving Joyce 
crazy. But other than that, everything is OK.'' He smiled and patted my 
arm, and he said, ``Well, you'll get over it. Give it another 6 months 
or so, you should be OK after the next election.'' Indeed, Bob, it 
turned out that way. You had the experience that you shared with me, 
and I appreciate it.
  My dad loved this body, and his friends and adversaries on both sides 
of the aisle. And we do have adversaries on both sides of the aisle. 
There is nothing quite like the infamy of one of your own colleagues 
who votes the wrong way on an issue that you feel strongly about.
  He hated to see it deprecated unless, of course, he was doing the 
deprecating. And that is true of all of us, too.
  One of dad's friends from across the aisle, an Ohio colleague of his 
and mine later, was a great American whom some of you will remember. I 
will not identify him, but he had a 3rd grade education because he had 
left school to go to work in the mines, the coal mines in Ohio, when he 
was 9 years old. He had a pet project for his district which he never 
got quite through the congressional process, in spite of considerable 
power and the promises that he had received from many of his colleagues 
that they thought it was a good idea and they would support it. When he 
would get frustrated, he used to say that he met more gentlemen in the 
mines than he ever met in the U.S. Congress.
  Well, unfair though it was, I think sometimes you felt that way when 
you got mad. That seems a tough remark when we have just recently laid 
to rest Bill Natcher, with whom so many of us served. Judge Natcher 
would probably get a unanimous vote as one of the best examples of a 
true gentleman that any of us ever met, but not all of us are 
gentlemen. As a matter of fact, there are some in this room who are 
not, and I intend to identify them at this moment.

                              {time}  1010

  First I want to point out Representative Pettis of California. I do 
not know were Representative Boggs of Louisiana is, but that is 
another, and of course there were others here who were not gentlemen: 
Griffiths of Michigan, Jordan of Texas, and many, many more, and I 
expect one of those ladies would say, any one of those ladies would 
say, as one of my great colleagues from Ohio, Frances Bolton, once said 
to a group of her male counterparts when she discovered them discussing 
legislative matters in terms that were very ungentlemanly, and she was 
embarrassed when she walked into the room at that time; she said, 
``Don't worry, fellows. Just think of me as one of the boys.''
  But all of us did get frustrated, did get frustrated from time to 
time, as are many of the Members serving in Congress today and as many 
of Americans are with Congress and other of our institutions. I remind 
them all that the blessing we have in our Democratic Republic is that 
we have within our hands the power to make whatever reforms we like, 
sometimes wisely, sometimes unwisely.
  I am reminded in my historical activities that almost a century ago 
the House rebelled against omnipotent Speaker Uncle Joe Cannon to 
establish the Committee on Rules and the seniority system for selecting 
chairmen. Uncle Joe used to pick them out of the group by his own 
choice. Within my time of service junior Members of Congress on both 
sides upended the seniority system to select their own chairmen instead 
of relying on the winnowing system of seniority, and just last year, at 
the apex of the furor over term limits, over one-fifth of the Members 
of Congress did not return to serve.
  Patience sometimes serves us better than revolution, but we do have 
those means within our own hands. It does not work perfectly, this 
system of ours, and it does not always satisfy us. But it does work, 
and this system has made us the greatest Nation and the most envied 
Nation in the history of mankind.
  The dome above us under which we have all served and labored 
sincerely, even among our differences, makes this building and what 
goes on here the best-known edifice in the world. There is not a person 
beyond our Nation's shores who would not be pleased to be governed 
under this dome.
  I assure my colleagues, particularly my colleagues and friends on the 
other side of the aisle, that I will not rewrite any history in my new 
role, but candor advises me to admit one of the reasons I accepted that 
responsibility with the Historical Society. I hope to be able to use 
the position to bring about a better public perception of the U.S. 
Congress and the people who serve in it. I feel more deeply than I can 
adequately express that service in the U.S. Congress is one of the 
highest callings there is, and it is one of the greatest honors a 
person can be given by fellow citizens of this country.
  Our Nation's founders must have shared that view because the 
Congress, this body in which we have all had the honor to serve, was 
the first to be established by our Constitution. We, the people of the 
United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish 
justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, 
promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to 
ourselves and to our posterity do ordain and establish this 
Constitution of the United States of America. Article I, section 1, all 
legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the 
United States which shall consist of the Senate and a House of 
Representatives given the responsibility to fulfill that opening of the 
Constitution.
  What higher calling? The Supreme Court? The President of the United 
States?
  At the next State of the Union Address look at the audience wherein 
sit the invited Chief and Associate Justices and at the lower podium 
wherefrom the invited President speaks. All are beneath the chairs of 
the Speaker of this House and the presiding officer of the Senate. Mr. 
Speaker, that means that there is no higher calling in public service 
in this country than serving as a Member of the U.S. Congress.
  It is a demanding job, as I said. We are all proud to have had the 
opportunity, and I am particularly proud today, as a former Member of 
Congress, to receive your honor. I say, ``Thank you very much.''
  [Applause.]
  Mr. JOHN J. RHODES, JR. (presiding). The Chair recognizes the 
gentleman from Missouri.
  Mr. SYMINGTON. I thank the distinguished gentleman from Ohio for his 
comments, advice, and counsel.
  Mr. Speaker, before adjournment, I have one last function to perform 
as this year's president of the Association. As we all know, to our 
grief, last December we lost our esteemed executive director, Jed 
Johnson. Those of you who were unable to attend the services for Jed 
should know that there was an outpouring of sentiment, reminiscence and 
love that did justice to the career and the character of the man. His 
one shining term as a Member of Congress was later supplemented by 20 
years of absolutely devoted and selfless service to our Association. It 
is no exaggeration to say he was the Association.
  Looking back over those years and the voluminous record of 
interparliamentary and educational endeavors which engaged us, it is 
almost impossible to believe that all the planning, all the diplomacy, 
all the energy and all the detail necessary to conceive, carry out, 
promote and fund our activities arose full blown from the mind, heart 
and tireless spirit of that ever young gentleman from Oklahoma. He left 
us so quickly, and so unexpectedly, that the award we would have wanted 
him to have in his lifetime must now be posthumous. Even then it is but 
a mere symbol of the enormous gratitude we bear for Jed and his life of 
service.
  We are honored today by the presence of Jed's gracious widow, Sydney 
Herlong Johnson, their two daughters, Alice and Sydney, and Jed's 
sisters, Mrs. Janelle Seiberlich and Mrs. Joan Stauffer. I would ask at 
this time that Mrs. Johnson approach the well to receive this small 
reminder of the gratitude and affection which reads,

       In Memoriam. The Honorable Jed Joseph Johnson, Jr. December 
     27, 1939-December 16, 1993. Representative from the Sixth 
     District of Oklahoma 1965-67. Executive Director, U.S. 
     Association of Former Members of Congress 1974-93. In 
     recognition of his selfless and invaluable service to this 
     Association, the nation and the cause of peace. Presented to 
     his widow, Sydney Herlong Johnson, by the United States 
     Association of Former Members of Congress on the floor of the 
     House of Representatives. Washington, DC. May 19, 1994.

  Sydney, this if for you, and it comes with the pledge that the 
Association Jed served so well will continue in his spirit.

                              {time}  1020

  Mrs. SYDNEY HERLONG JOHNSON. Thank you all very much. I really 
appreciate this expression of your gratitude.
  Jed loved his work with former Members of Congress, and I am really 
grateful that he had so many years to work for a cause that he believed 
in so deeply. I feel that I am among our treasured and wonderful 
friends today, and I want you to know that I thank you all so very 
much, not only for what you have done in the past but for what you are 
doing to continue the important work that he loved and treasured so 
deeply. Thank you.
  [Applause.]
  Mr. SYMINGTON. Thank you, Sydney.
  Mr. Speaker, this concludes the 24th Annual Report to the Congress by 
the United States Association of Former Members of Congress. We are 
grateful as always to you, Speaker Foley, and the Members of his House 
on both sides of the aisle for this pleasant chance to share a review 
of the activities of its former Members and to renew our commitment to 
the spirit of this place; to touch, as it were, a few of what Mr. 
Lincoln called ``the mystic chords of memory.''
  Finally, we thank you, Mr. Speaker, for the continuing opportunity to 
lend bipartisan support for the interparliamentary and educational 
exchanges which the Congress deems of value.
  With renewed appreciation and respect, Mr. Speaker, we take our 
leave. Thank you.
  [Applause.]
  Mr. JOHN J. RHODES, JR. (presiding). I thank the gentleman from 
Missouri.
  The Chair has the gavel, and that gives me certain prerogatives, and 
among those is to say what he has in mind, and I have several things in 
mind.
  Sydney is not only the wife of a Congressman but the daughter of my 
very good friend, Syd Herlong. We extend to you and your daughters our 
absolute sincerity and sympathy in the passing of Jed. As a former 
president of the Association, I had the privilege, of course, of 
serving very closely with Jed. I have never known an individual any 
more dedicated to his job and to an organization than Jed was to this. 
I think most of us would agree with me that if it had not been for Jed 
Johnson, this organization might well have passed into oblivion 
sometime ago.
  So, Sydney, we do appreciate you, because I know that without a wife 
a man really is not worth very much. And I can say that from personal 
experience. I hope that you will not only give our love to your 
daughters but to your father and mother also.
  Now, Jim, I want to congratulate you on a great term. You had the 
misfortune to be president of this organization during what I will say 
was a watershed year, but it was much more than that. I was a difficult 
year because of the fact that Jed is no longer with us. You have 
handled it beautifully, and I know you will be passing the gavel to 
Phil Ruppe, who will also handle it beautifully. It is amazing how 
people who have served in the Congress have all sorts of capabilities 
that you do not get to really exercise unless you are in the leadership 
of the Congress. It is really wonderful and it is heartwarming when 
people who have served in the Congress take over as leaders of this 
organization and do such a magnificent job. In fact, I do not remember 
any officer of this organization who has not done a great job. I am 
looking right at Ab Mikva right now who certainly was a close associate 
of mine during that time.
  I need to announce that there have been 32 Members who have announced 
their presence. Are there any former Members of the Congress in the 
House who would like to have their presence recorded whose presence has 
not previously been recorded? If not, I have one other announcement.
  Those of you who desire to take the Capitol tour will assemble in the 
Speaker's Lobby behind the podium here.
  Before I close, let me give my thanks to the Speaker, as well as to 
the Parliamentarian and his staff, for all the kindnesses that you have 
shown the former Members, not only this year but in other years past. 
We thank you, Sir.
  The House will stay in recess until 11 a.m. eastern daylight time, of 
course, and again may I thank all of you who are here and pray that we 
will all be together at this time next year.
  Without motion, I now declare the session of the Association of 
Former Members of Congress in the House of Representatives adjourned.
  Accordingly (at 10 o'clock and 25 minutes a.m.), the House continued 
in recess until 11 a.m.
