                  JUDGE LLOYD TATUM, A GREAT AMERICAN

                                 ______


                           HON. HAROLD ROGERS

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 1, 1995
  Mr. ROGERS. Mr. Speaker, this Saturday, August 5, 1995, Judge Lloyd 
Tatum of Henderson, TN, will celebrate his birthday, matching the 
Biblical age of three score and ten.
  Judge Tatum is a highly respected west Tennessee lawyer, known 
throughout Tennessee legal circles for having served many years as a 
member of the Tennessee Criminal Court of Appeals. Upon his retirement 
from the active bench several years ago, he resumed private practice in 
Henderson with his son, Lloyd Rogers Tatum, while continuing to serve 
as a reserve judge.
  In addition to being the husband of my beloved deceased sister, 
Inadene, Judge Tatum is a mentor of mine. He is a brother-in-law who is 
as close to me as a brother. He inspired me to become a lawyer, to 
engage in politics and to muster the self-confidence to stand for 
Congress.
  We confer frequently about issues of the day, as well as our latest 
golf scores--such as they are--and I value his advice.
  Saturday, his four children and their spouses, many grandchildren, 
other family and scores of friends are gathering to wish Lloyd a joyous 
birthday.
  I hope that through his life, I can inspire just a fraction of the 
great number of people who have been inspired and encouraged by Lloyd 
Tatum.
  I wish for him many more productive years and thank him for all he 
means to me, my family, and hundreds of friends and admirers.
  Happy birthday, Lloyd.
