         THANKING LARRY BENNETT FOR HIS YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE

                                 ______


                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 4, 1994

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to celebrate the years of 
selfless service that Assemblyman Lawrence Bennett has provided the 
people and State of New York. I have been privileged to call Larry my 
friend for over 15 years now. He has been an outstanding colleague, 
legislator, friend, and representative to the people of the 96th 
Assembly District in New York. Looking forward to the occasion of his 
retirement dinner on October 19, 1994, I humbly ask my colleagues to 
join me in paying tribute to Larry Bennett for his selfless commitment 
to serving the public.
  I know of no more accessible or generous man than Larry Bennett, who 
has worked tirelessly to advance the causes and interests of his 
constituents. His commitment to serving the public as an assemblyman is 
augmented and enhanced by his dedication to other community and church 
affairs. A life member of the VFW, a past commander of the American 
Legion, and an honorary member of numerous fire companies, Larry's 
contributions to our community are legendary and greatly appreciated.
  It is with a heavy heart that those of us who have called on Larry 
for advice, guidance, and support over the years gather to acknowledge 
his retirement from public office. It is, however, with great hope that 
we wish Larry much continued happiness in the future and best wishes in 
all his future endeavors. I ask that my colleagues join me now in 
celebrating the contributions of Assemblyman Larry Bennett.
