                    TRIBUTE TO MRS. LENORE DONNELLY

                                 ______


                        HON. WILLIAM (BILL) CLAY

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, July 21, 1995
  Mr. CLAY. Mr. Speaker, today we say farewell to Mrs. Lenore (Lenny) 
Donnelly, chief of democratic pages, who is retiring after 10 years of 
dedicated service in this position. She will be sorely missed.
  Mrs. Donnelly's career in politics spans three decades and is quite 
impressive. She knew and worked with two great Democratic Presidents, 
John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. She campaigned for President 
Kennedy and served President Johnson in the White House. She also 
worked for Senator Robert F. Kennedy. In 1985, she was appointed Chief 
of Democratic Pages by Speaker Thomas ``Tip'' O'Neill.
  Mrs. Donnelly has been a valuable asset to this institution. She has 
trained and counseled more than 2,000 pages from across the country. 
Her contributions helped to make the page program a highly productive 
experience for the young men and women who participated.
  I want to express my deep gratitude to Mrs. Donnelly for her 
outstanding assistance and wish her much success and great fellowship 
in the future.
