                        TRIBUTE TO KEITH JEWELL

  (Mr. STEARNS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STEARNS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to make part of the Record my 
contribution to Keith Jewell and also to speak in behalf of him, too.
  I also rise to speak highly of Keith Jewell, having seen him in 
operation during the State of the Unions and actually seeing him in 
operation on the steps of the Capitol so many times where all of us, 
when we had constitutents and we had junior high schools and high 
schools, and how many times he has been here when the President and 
Vice President and Cabinet officers have come by.
  He is a remarkable man. He is so humble, and he is such a serving 
individual and has such a serving spirit. I want to compliment him also 
and to make my speech part of the Record, which I will put into the 
Record at a later time.
   Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to join with my 
colleague, Mr. Dingell, in paying tribute to Keith Jewell.
  Keith has served this body well in his 30 years of service. I have 
always found him to be not only an excellent photographer but also a 
fine human being. Keith was never too busy to answer a last minute call 
and always did it with a smile.
  You will certainly be missed by all of us. You didn't just take 
pictures you studied human nature and the photographs you took are 
evidence of not only your ability but also reflect how much you enjoyed 
your profession.
  On a more sentimental side, you might remember Keith, that you went 
above and beyond the call of duty by helping out my Executive Director, 
Marcia Summers, with her daughter's wedding.
  You were selfless, hard working, and I know I speak for all the 
Members here today when I say thanks, a job well done.
