                TRIBUTE TO REPRESENTATIVE HELEN BENTLEY

                                 ______


                         HON. ROMANO L. MAZZOLI

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. MAZZOLI. Mr. Speaker, I would like to join my fellow colleagues 
in honoring Representative Helen Bentley.
  As a ``retiree'' myself, Helen and I are experiencing the same happy-
sad reaction to the end of the session and to the end of our careers as 
Members of Congress. Although I have been here for a few years longer 
than Helen, the effects of leaving will be the same for both of us.
  Helen Bentley has served the great people of Maryland's Second 
Congressional District with devotion and integrity. She has been a 
tireless voice for the maritime and shipping industries of Maryland. As 
Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, Helen led the way to 
increasing the U.S. merchant marine fleet and expanding the port of 
Baltimore. She has continued her dedication to maritime issues through 
her work on the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
  Helen Bentley has also championed efforts to reduce U.S. 
dependability of foreign goods through aggressive ``Buy American'' 
campaigns, sponsoring legislation requiring the federal government to 
purchase goods from U.S. companies.
  As we both start this new phase of life away from Congress, I wish 
for Helen all the happiness life has to offer.
