                    HONORING CHAIRMAN MARILYN LLOYD

                                 ______


                            HON. TIM ROEMER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 27, 1994

  Mr. ROEMER. Mr. Speaker, true leaders not only manage the events of 
the present, they also pay close attention to what the future may hold. 
At the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, I have had the good 
fortune to work with Chairman Marilyn Lloyd, who has provided 
exceptional leadership in managing our current resources as head of the 
Energy Subcommittee, and has also done outstanding work in preparing 
for future needs.
  The future of U.S. and world development is closely linked with our 
energy supply. The dwindling global petroleum supply combined with 
ever-expanding energy needs creates a huge necessity for investing in 
other energy producing sources. Marilyn Lloyd has done an outstanding 
job in ensuring that this country address future needs today.
  She has charted a course for badly needed and timely investment in 
renewable energy sources such as wind and solar powers, and in 
promising other technologies such as fusion. In order to reduce our 
dependence on foreign energy sources, Chairman Lloyd has sought better 
levels of investment in domestic energy production.
  She has also conducted critical oversight in bringing our Federal 
energy labs into the next century. Once our Nation's weapons kitchens, 
these facilities found themselves badly in need of a mission. Chairman 
Lloyd has worked tirelessly to convert our Federal labs into technology 
kitchens, whose mission it will be to create new products and materials 
that American businesses can use to advance our global trading status.
  This subject matter is complicated, but Chairman Lloyd has addressed 
it with vigor and given it the serious attention it deserves. She has 
served the Congress and the country well in these and other matters, 
and I am both pleased and honored to have had the great opportunity to 
serve with her as a member of the Energy Subcommittee.
  Mr. Speaker, Chairman Marilyn Lloyd has served with class, grace, and 
distinction. I know she is going to do better things, and I know she 
will have great success, but I also know that she will be genuinely 
missed by her colleagues. We are losing a distinguished leader, but she 
will always be remembered for her dedication to her constituents, her 
committee, and the Congress.
