                        TRIBUTE TO HELEN BENTLEY

                                 ______


                          HON. SUSAN MOLINARI

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Ms. MOLINARI. Mr. Speaker, I rise to say farewell and pay tribute to 
our colleague, Helen Bentley. I had the honor of serving with her on 
the Public Works and Transportation Committee for 2 years.
  Helen used her position on the Committee to focus on and improve the 
infrastructure of her district. There, as well as on the Merchant 
Marine and Fisheries and Appropriations Committees, she has pushed 
tirelessly to improve Baltimore's port and to strengthen America's 
merchant marine fleet.
  As a representative of a maritime district very similar to Helen's, I 
have deep respect for her fervor in defending manufacturing and 
maritime industries--industries that are suffering due to years of 
neglect.
  We will all miss Helen and the causes she so ably supported will need 
a new champion. Though another champion like Helen will be hard to come 
by, I think fifty or sixty of us might be able to try and compensate 
for her departure.
