          A TRIBUTE TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE NATHANIEL R. JONES

                                 ______


                      HON. JAMES A. TRAFICANT, JR.

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 30, 1995
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to stand here 
today to honor a remarkable man from the 17th Congressional District of 
Ohio. Please join me today in honoring the Honorable Judge Nathaniel R. 
Jones on his retirement from the U.S. Court of Appeals.
  Judge Jones has served on the bench of the Sixth Circuit, U.S. Court 
of Appeals since his appointment during the Carter administration in 
1979. This accounts for 15 years of service to his country. In 
addition, Judge Jones has devoted much of his time outside the office 
to community events and civil rights activities. Judge Jones has the 
further distinction of having served the National Association for the 
Advancement of Colored People as Chief Legal Counsel.
  Mr. Speaker, it is rare that I have the opportunity to honor someone 
like Judge Nathaniel R. Jones who has given so much not only to his own 
community but also to the entire country. My sincere appreciation goes 
out to Judge Jones for the job he has done. May he be blessed with 
health, happiness and continued success in the years to come.
