                      TRIBUTE TO SAM B. HALL, JR.

                                 ______


                         HON. WILLIAM J. HUGHES

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 25, 1994

  Mr. HUGHES. Mr. Speaker, today we pay tribute to our former 
colleague, Representative Sam B. Hall, Jr., who served in this House 
from 1977 until 1985.
  Sam was a man of integrity who well represented his constituents from 
the First District of Texas. As my seat-mate on the Judiciary 
Committee, Sam and I worked closely on many issues. Sam always worked 
with a smile and was very pleasant to everyone who came in contact with 
him. Indeed, he was a fine lawyer, an outstanding legislator, and a 
good friend.
  In addition to serving this House, and his district, Sam well served 
this country. After his service in Congress, he was appointed as a U.S. 
district judge for the eastern district of Texas where he served with 
distinction. His dedication to the bench earned him deep respect and 
admiration from many of his colleagues.
  As we take this moment to remember our former colleague, Sam Hall, I 
would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his wife, Madeline, and the 
rest of his family. Sam's death is a loss to all of us and we will miss 
him.
