                       THE HONORABLE DON EDWARDS

                                 ______


                               speech of

                        HON. CARLOS J. MOORHEAD

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 6, 1994

  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, I have served with Don Edwards in the 
House since I arrived in 1973.
  We worked together on the Judiciary Committee for the same length of 
time.
  As the senior members of the California congressional delegation, we 
worked cooperatively on issues of importance and concerns to the State 
for nearly a decade.
  Through all of this, Don Edwards has always been the consummate 
gentleman. After hundreds of issues, endless hours of debate, and 
discussion, the decency of Don Edwards has never dimmed or diminished. 
He has always been respectful, friendly, courteous, approachable.
  Don Edwards has always understood that if differences and partisan 
dialog were rooted in mutual respect and common decency, the House 
would serve its noble purpose of bettering the lives of all Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, it is difficult to wrap the gratitude and admiration of 
years into a few sentences in the Congressional Record. I will miss Don 
Edwards, a great Californian, an outstanding Member of the House, a 
fine gentleman and a very good friend.
