              RETIREMENT OF CONGRESSMAN HAMILTON FISH, JR.

                                 ______


                            HON. JACK BROOKS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. BROOKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to say farewell to a dear and 
loyal friend. Hamilton Fish, Jr., has ably and diligently represented 
the 19th Congressional District of the State of New York, which first 
elected him to office in 1968. I have had the high honor of serving 
with Congressman Fish on the House Committee on the Judiciary since 
1969. As the years passed, I became chairman of that committee and 
Congressman Fish became the ranking minority member. Some Members may 
not know that Congressman Fish was actually born in the District of 
Columbia when his father was serving in the U.S. Congress representing 
the same congressional district Ham serves today. Congressman Fish's 
contributions to the work of the Judiciary Committee and of the 
Congress in general cover many years and many topics. His work on civil 
rights and immigration, to name just a few issues, will be long 
remembered. We shall all miss Ham Fish and his lovely wife, Mary Ann, 
as they return home to the State of New York. May happiness and good 
health accompany them along the way.

                          ____________________
