                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, the environmental and natural 
resources community has lost one of its best minds and most generous 
spirits with the untimely death of Dr. James Matthew Broadus III, 
director of the Marine Policy Center at the Woods Hole Oceanographic 
Institution, on September 28, 1994.
  Jim was a brilliant scholar who we counted on for superb, rigorous 
analysis and objective policy recommendations. He was a man of 
technical excellence and creative vision. As director of the Marine 
Policy Center from 1986 until his death, he inspired his excellent 
staff to produce some of the finest work in the field. Under Jim's 
leadership, the Marine Policy Center has become one of the most 
respected environmental policy institutions of its kind.
  An internationally recognized researcher with a doctorate in 
economics from Yale, Jim published extensively in top journals in the 
fields of economics, law, science, and public policy. He was one of the 
those rare individuals who could translate highly technical information 
to policymakers and the public. Jim's findings have been applied to a 
broad range of domestic and international policy problems. His impact 
has extended well beyond ocean and coastal issues.
  We will remember his terrific sense of humor, his intellectual 
integrity, his lasting contributions to the work of Congress, his 
dedication to his students and staff, and his eye for all things 
genuine. To Jim's wife, Victoria, and his children, Matthew, Tory, and 
Joseph, our hearts are with you. We hope that you recognize the 
profound impact that Jim made and the esteem in which he was held. We 
hope this awareness will help you in this time of great loss.
