                        TRIBUTE TO BILL CASSIDY

                                 ______


                         HON. JOHN T. DOOLITTLE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. DOOLITTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with sadness that I come to the 
floor to mourn the loss of a friend who recently passed away.
  As most Members of this body know, I am a strong advocate of 
constructing a multipurpose dam near Auburn, CA. Earlier this month, a 
strong proponent of the Auburn Dam project since its inception, Bill 
Cassidy, died at the age of 78. More than being a leader on the Auburn 
Dam issue, Bill was an important part of the Auburn community he loved.
  For 18 years, Bill Cassidy was publisher of Auburn's hometown 
newspaper, the Auburn Journal. Through his work at the Journal, he kept 
the paper focused on the people who lived and worked in the community. 
During his tenure, the Journal was named the best newspaper of its size 
in the State. Bill Cassidy also provided leadership to organizations 
like: the Mother Lode Golden Chain Council, the Auburn Elks, the Ben 
Ali Shrine Temple, the Eureka Lodge No. 16 of the Masons, the 
Grandfathers Club, the Tahoe Club, the American Legion, and the Auburn 
Volunteer Fire Department, to name a few. Mr. Speaker, as you and my 
colleagues can see, Bill Cassidy played a major part in his community. 
He will be sorely missed. May God grant that he rest in peace.
