            IN MEMORY OF JUDGE WILLIAM DANIEL ``DUB'' MURRAY

  Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, Montanans lost a good friend, as well as a 
bit of history, this week with the passing of Judge William Daniel 
``Dub'' Murray of Butte. The son of James E. Murray, who served Montana 
in the U.S. Senate from 1936 to 1961, Dub's life was deeply rooted in 
public service.
  Harry S. Truman would have been proud to know that the young man he 
nominated for the U.S. district court post in 1949 would leave such a 
proud legacy. Like President Truman, Judge Murray unfailingly exhibited 
the highest integrity, ability, and character.
  As the Montana Standard reported in its October 4, 1994, issue, Judge 
Murray refused to be intimidated by authority figures like J. Edgar 
Hoover, and, indeed, incurred his wrath by dismissing criminal cases 
which were based on evidence obtained illegally by the FBI.
  Judge Murray believed in the Nation's court system and insisted that 
the process be carried out to its conclusion.
  Dub is survived by his wife, Lulu; sons, W.D. Murray, Jr. and Timothy 
J. Murray; and daughter, Gael Buckley.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his family, as we pay tribute to the 
memory of this exemplary man.
