                     A TRIBUTE TO STANLEY SCOVILLE

                                 ______


                           HON. GEORGE MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 1995
  Mr. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise with great sorrow to 
inform the Members of the House of Representatives of the passing of 
our friend and coworker, Stanley Scoville, last Saturday morning.
  For nearly a quarter of a century, Stanley Scoville served as a 
valued, knowledgeable, and dependable colleague on behalf of our former 
colleague, Hon. Morris K. Udall, and in a variety of positions on the 
staff of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs.
  Stanely was born in Phoenix, and retained a great appreciation and 
attachment to the Southwest throughout his life. He attended both 
undergraduate and law school at the University of Arizona, and served 
as a clerk for U.S. District Court Judge James A. Walsh in 1971-72. At 
the end of his clerkship, he joined the staff of Congressman Udall in 
Washington, and from that day forward until his retirement earlier this 
year, he held a succession of positions on Mo's personal and committee 
staff, including staff director and counsel, and special counsel to the 
chairman.
  I first met Stanley when I came to the Congress in 1975 as a junior 
member of the committee, and we worked together on a wide variety of 
issues, including on the Ad Hoc Select Committee on the Outer 
Continental Shelf. Stanley brought to his job a thorough knowledge of 
energy and environment policy, and a sharp political sense that was 
invaluable to a vast array of issues that came before our members every 
year.
  Stanley also had a deep commitment to the institution of the House of 
Representatives itself, and he continued to work with the committee 
through great personal difficulties because of his belief in our laws 
and our system of government. His loss will be deeply felt by all those 
who work on these issues and all those who were fortunate enough to 
know and work with him.
  A memorial service is being held at 1 p.m. this Friday in the Morris 
K. Udall Hearing Room of the Committee on Resources, 1324 Longworth 
Building. I hope that Members and their staffs would attend to show 
their respect and appreciation for this talented and dedicated public 
servant.
