                   TRIBUTE TO CONGRESSMAN ROY ROWLAND

                                 ______


                            HON. TOM BEVILL

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 20, 1994

  Mr. BEVILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank our colleague, 
Congressman Roy Rowland, for his outstanding service to the Nation.
  As you know, Roy is one of the only Members of Congress who has also 
been a practicing medical doctor. He used this training and experience 
to bring many medical issues to the attention of this body. When Dr. 
Rowland speaks on a health-related issue, we all listen with open ears. 
He is honest and forthright in his opinions and thorough in his 
research. We will lose much with his retirement.
  I first met Roy 12 years ago when he was elected to serve as 
Congressman for the Eighth District of Georgia. Over the years I have 
come to respect Roy for his judgment and to appreciate him even more 
for his friendship. I wish to let him know that, though I am sorry to 
see such a distinguished Member retire, I am confident that he will be 
happy and successful in his life after Congress. Roy has already been 
successful in two careers and I would not be surprised if he decides to 
take up a third.
  My wife Lou wishes to join me in wishing Roy and his lovely wife 
Luella all the best in the years to come.
