IN HONOR OF CONGRESSMAN GEORGE SANGMEISTER'S RETIREMENT FROM THE HOUSE 
                           OF REPRESENTATIVES

                                 ______


                           HON. GLENN POSHARD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. POSHARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Congressman George 
Sangmeister on his retirement from the U.S. House of Representatives. 
He has not only served this chamber as a diligent legislator, but to 
many of his constituents and colleagues on both sides of the aisle he 
has been a good and trusted friend.
  Before coming to serve in the House of Representatives, George and I 
had the privilege of working together for a number of years in the 
Illinois State Senate. In 1988, we were both elected to represent the 
people of Illinois in the House of Representatives. As a new Member of 
Congress, it was a pleasure to have a close friend and colleague like 
George to learn and work along side. Over the past 6 years, George and 
I have continued to work together on many issues and projects important 
to the people of our districts and the State of Illinois. Serving with 
George in this Chamber and in the Illinois Senate has been an honor 
which will remain an important memory of my time in the House of 
Representatives.
  I would like to extend best wishes and good health to George, his 
wife, Doris, and his entire family in the many years to follow his 
retirement. His service to the people of the 11th Congressional 
District and the State of Illinois will forever be appreciated by those 
he has so diligently served.
