               TRIBUTE TO THE LATE HON. ROBERT L.F. SIKES

  (Mr. HUTTO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUTTO. Mr. Speaker, it is my sad responsibility to announce to 
the House that my predecessor, former Congressman Bob Sikes, passed 
away this morning. Congressman Sikes spent 38 years in this House of 
Representatives. He was a member of the Committee on Appropriations and 
was the chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Construction on 
Appropriations. He will certainly be missed by many, particularly those 
he served in northwest Florida. He was somewhat of an institution in 
our area.
  Congressman Sikes is survived by his wife, Inez T. Sikes; a son, 
Robert K. Sikes of Orlando; a daughter, Bobbye Sikes Wicke of Indiana, 
and a number of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and one great-
great-grandchild.
  Congressman Robert L.F. Sikes was 88 years old, and passed away this 
morning.
