IN HONOR OF MARTIN HUMM'S RETIREMENT AS HARDIN COUNTY DEMOCRATIC COUNTY 
                                CHAIRMAN

                                 ______


                           HON. GLENN POSHARD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 21, 1994

  Mr. POSHARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Martin Humm, a dear 
friend and a steadfast public servant. After 32 years of dedicated 
service, Martin has retired from serving Hardin County, IL, as 
Democratic county chairman. His loyalty to the Democratic Party and the 
people of Hardin County will forever stand as an example to our 
community.
  Martin began his involvement with the Democratic Party in 1960 when 
he was elected precinct committeeman. In 1962, Martin was named 
Democratic county chairman, the position he has held respectfully until 
his retirement this year. As county chairman, Martin unified the ideals 
and goals of local Democrat Party members. Martin's endeavors as 
Democratic county chairman have truly inspired many to become actively 
involved in local, State, and national politics.
  On behalf of the people of Hardin County and the entire 19th 
Congressional District, I would like to congratulate Martin on his many 
years of dedicated service to the Democratic Party and the American 
political system. I am grateful to Martin Humm for the continuous 
support and friendship he has shown me over the years. I wish Martin, 
his wife, Pauline, and their entire family good health and happiness in 
the many years to follow Martin's retirement.

                          ____________________
