                    TRIBUTE TO HELEN DELICH BENTLEY

                                 ______


                       HON. BARBARA F. VUCANOVICH

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mrs. VUCANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor for me to speak in 
recognition of my good friend and colleague who has been my friend for 
many years. This woman, Helen Delich Bentley, has represented her 
District, the Second District of Maryland, with energy and enthusiasm.
  Helen is not a typical Republican in many ways. She has battled for 
the American worker and is fiercely protectionist. She will long be 
remembered for smashing a sledgehammer on a T.V. set made by Toshiba, a 
company which exported secret products to the Soviets, as well as her 
Buy America slogans.
  Helen grew up in a Nevada mining town and has never forgotten her 
roots. Nevada still considers Helen one of her own. She is tough but 
tender; cares about her friends and family; and will be sorely missed 
by all of us in the 103d Congress. I know we have not heard the last 
from Helen Bentley. I hope not.
