                        TRIBUTE TO KEITH JEWELL

  (Mr. BEVILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. Speaker, 1 minute is not enough time to pay tribute to Keith 
Jewell, one of my long-time friends and an excellent photographer. As 
you know, Keith is retiring as Director of House Photography after 29 
years of dedicated service on Capitol Hill. He came here shortly before 
I was first elected to Congress and we have worked together ever since.
  As a young man, Keith knew he wanted to be a photographer. He 
essentially taught himself the tricks of the trade and became a true 
professional. He has captured more history through his camera lenses 
than most people witness in a lifetime.
  Keith has served under six Speakers and was the first House 
photographer given permission to photograph the House during a joint 
session. That was in 1981 under Speaker Tip O'Neill.
  Keith Jewell is one of the most dependable, hard-working people I 
have ever known. People who work with him will tell you that he does 
the job of three people and never complains. His staff is highly 
professional. Under Keith's leadership, they keep their commitments and 
consistently do outstanding work. That's quite an accomplishment 
considering that Keith has had 19,000 appointments a year.
  I want to wish Keith all the best in his well-deserved retirement and 
future endeavors. His fine service to the U.S. House of Representatives 
will always be remembered.
