                  TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM PRESSLY COCHRANE

                                 ______


                         HON. TILLIE K. FOWLER

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mrs. FOWLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 80th 
birthday celebration of my constituent, not only to Florida's Fourth 
Congressional District, but to the U.S. House of Representatives as 
well.
  Mr. Cochrane worked for the House of Representatives in various 
capacities after his arrival on Capitol Hill in 1955. For 17 years he 
served as the Assistant Parliamentarian until his retirement in 1979. 
During most of his tenure on the Hill, Mr. Cochrane, served under three 
separate Speakers of the House, Carl Albert, Sam Rayburn and John 
McCormack. Always devoted to his position and never one to play 
politics, Mr. Cochrane loyally fulfilled his responsibilities to every 
Member of the House, as many of you may remember.
  Mr. Cochrane currently lives in Palm Coast, Florida, and I am very 
proud to have the opportunity to represent him in Congress. I salute 
his dedicated service to our country.
  Again, it is with great pleasure that I wish William Pressly Cochrane 
a very happy birthday.
