                       Tuesday, January 24, 1995
  Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge King Rama 
IX of Thailand on the occasion of the Royal Golden Jubilee celebration 
which commences this month and continues through 1997. His Majesty will 
enter his 50th year of reign on June 9th.
  His Majesty has been an extremely positive influence on his people 
and continues to be a constructive force in Southeast Asia and the 
world. His Majesty's influence can be discerned in his numerous 
projects, his lifelong interest in public health, his efforts to bring 
peaceful solutions in times of conflict, and his generosity in helping 
refugees in neighboring countries, especially the Karenni of Burma. His 
contributions have made King Bhumibol the prime source of inspiration, 
pride and joy among the Thai people.
