                         TRIBUTE TO GAYLE WOODY

                                 ______


                            HON. TOM BEVILL

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 27, 1994

  Mr. BEVILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to my long-time 
executive secretary and office manager, Gayle Woody. Gayle will leave 
Capitol Hill on June 30 after 27 years of outstanding service, 
including 19 years in my office.
  Gayle began her career in the House Finance Office and then worked 
for former Congressman Maston O'Neal of Georgia. She came to work for 
me in 1975 and over the years, she has been one of my most trusted and 
valuable staffers.
  I want to congratulate Gayle and to thank her for her hard work, 
dedication, and excellence on the job. I have been extremely fortunate 
to have her on my staff and her talents will be greatly missed.
  Gayle has been on the front lines in my office for many years. Most 
often, she has been the first person my visitors have met or spoken 
with by telephone. She has always shown the utmost kindness, courtesy, 
friendliness, and professionalism toward everyone she meets.
  I will always be grateful to Gayle for her loyalty, her valued 
assistance, and her grace under fire. Anyone who has ever worked in a 
congressional office knows the importance of a person like Gayle. It is 
hard to imagine getting along without her, but I know that she will 
enjoy her retirement and make the most of many vibrant years ahead.
  I wish Gayle good health and every happiness in her future endeavors. 
I know that she will be successful at whatever she chooses to pursue.
