               TRIBUTE TO THE HONORABLE DOUGLAS APPLEGATE

                                 ______


                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as we prepare to adjourn the 
103d Congress sine die to pay tribute to our retiring colleague Doug 
Applegate.
  I have had the privilege of serving in the House with Doug since I 
was first elected at the beginning of the 98th Congress in January 
1983. I am also fortunate to have served with Doug on the Committee on 
Public Works and Transportation, where I have seen Doug excellent work 
firsthand. His leadership, most recently as Chair of the Subcommittee 
on Water Resources, has been exemplary. I know that all his colleagues 
on the committee--on both sides of the aisle--will miss him a great 
deal.
  In the 9 years I have known Doug, he has always presented himself and 
represented his constituents as a true professional. The people of the 
Ohio's 18th District and the Members of the U.S. House of 
Representatives are losing a great leader.
  I can only hope that Doug will leave the House with the knowledge 
that he has served his country with great distinction. I wish Doug and 
his family much happiness and success in the years to come. I hope he 
knows that I will think of him often.

                          ____________________
