                      TRIBUTE TO DOUGLAS APPLEGATE

                                 ______


                           HON. TONY P. HALL

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. HALL of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the contributions 
of my distinguished Ohio colleague, Mr. Douglas Applegate, who is 
retiring as a Member of the House of Representatives at the conclusion 
of the 103d Congress.
  I have know Doug since we served together in the Ohio General 
Assembly and it has been a privilege to work with him. Throughout his 
career in government life, Doug has served with distinction and honor.
  Doug has been a special champion of Federal workers. He recognized 
the value that they added to quality of life of the American people and 
he never hesitated to thank them. In an era of cynicism toward 
government, he considered politics to be an honorable calling. He 
recognized the importance of carrying out the will of the people 
through the political process. He performed his duties in that spirit, 
always with sensitivity to the common man.
  As a member of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Doug has been a 
diligent supporter of the men and women who served in our Armed 
Services. One of his contributions was his work to increase benefits 
for survivors of veterans who died of combat-related injuries.
  I join with my Ohio colleagues and all Members of the House in 
offering our thanks to Doug and best wishes for his happiness and good 
health in the future. We will miss him.
