   IN HONOR OF CONGRESSMAN BOB MICHEL'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 House Minority Leader 
Bob Michel for the many years of dedicated services he has given the 
people of Illinois and the citizens of our Nation. He has not only 
served us as a great leader, but to many of his constituents and 
colleagues on both sides of the aisle he has been a good and trusted 
friend.
  When I was elected to the House of Representatives in 1988, 32 years 
after Congressman Bob Michel was first sworn into office, Bob welcomed 
me with open arms to the Illinois congressional delegation. Bob has 
worked diligently with my colleagues and me in continuing to make the 
State of Illinois a great place in which to live and work. Serving with 
Bob over the past 6 years has been an honor which will remain an 
important memory of my time in this Chamber.
  I would like to extend best wishes and good health to Bob and his 
entire family in the many years to follow his retirement. His service 
to the people of this country will remain an example to us all as we 
continue to lead our Nation into the future.

                          ____________________
