                       TRIBUTE TO J. ROY ROWLAND

                                 ______


                         HON. CONSTANCE MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to our Georgia 
colleague, J. Roy Rowland, who is retiring this year after ably 
representing the 8th District for six terms.
  Roy Rowland has made a major mark on a variety of important issues 
during his tenure in the House, not the least of which revolve around 
health care. A physician with the courtly manner of Marcus Welby, Roy 
has shown interest in research to cut infant mortality rates and was a 
member of a national and regional commission on the subject. He pushed 
successfully for an AIDS advisory commission, and has been an 
influential voice on a number of AIDS issues.
  Roy has most recently been a major player in the debate over health 
care reform, and while he plans to retire back to his beloved Georgia, 
we will have the good fortune of hearing from him again in the future: 
he plans to continue to participate in the national debate on the 
topic.
  I join my colleagues in wishing this fine Congressman, physician and 
gentleman continued success in his retirement.
