                          TRIBUTE TO HAM FISH

                                 ______


                        HON. CARLOS J. MOORHEAD

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, it is with some sadness that I rise to say 
good bye to an old and dear colleague, Ham Fish.
  As everyone in the House is aware, Ham Fish has an impeccable 
pedigree. His family's political tradition is long, storied and 
honorable.
  During his long service to the Nation and its Congress, he has done 
nothing to dull that reputation. In fact, he has added immeasurable 
luster to its already glowing history.
  I can speak firsthand about this because I have been fortunate enough 
to work side-by-side with Ham Fish in the Committee on the Judiciary 
since 1974.
  We worked through Watergate, legislation on civil rights, the 
handicapped, environment, crime and the courts. He has always been a 
helpful and insightful leader; a respected Committee and House Member; 
and a valued friend.
  Mr. Speaker, I will miss Ham Fish. I thank him for all his service to 
the nation and the House. I wish him Godspeed.
