                   TRIBUTE TO CONGRESSMAN DEAN GALLO

                                 ______


                            HON. TOM BEVILL

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 20, 1994

  Mr. BEVILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the outstanding 
public service of Congressman Dean Gallo.
  I knew Dean from when he first came to Congress 10 years ago. He was 
one of the most well-liked Members of Congress, as well as one of the 
most able. He had been a respected member of the Appropriations 
Committee since 1989 and an important part of the Energy and Water 
Development Subcommittee since 1991. Having Dean on my subcommittee 
these past 4 years was a real pleasure, and I know all of us on the 
committee will miss him.
  Dean worked hard for issues that mattered to the Eleventh District of 
New Jersey, but he never forgot the greater national interest. However 
acrimonious the debate, you could always expect Dean to be level-headed 
and practical. He was a gentleman legislator and a good friend. America 
would be lucky to have more Congressmen like Dean Gallo.
  We have lost a great man in Dean Gallo, but his accomplishments will 
live on. The people of New Jersey, whom he served so well, owe him a 
debt of gratitude which I know they are happy to pay. I would like to 
join with my colleagues in honoring his memory. It was my sincere 
pleasure to know Dean Gallo and to work with him. We will all miss him 
very much.
