                  TRIBUTE TO CONGRESSMAN THOMAS MORGAN

                                 ______


                           HON. FRANK MASCARA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 3, 1995
  Mr. MASCARA. Mr. Speaker, I rise with pride today to pay tribute to a 
man who served the people of Pennsylvania and this Nation for 32 years.
  Dr. Thomas Morgan passed away on July 31, 1995. He retired from 
Congress in 1977, but the memory of ``Doc'' Morgan will be engraved in 
American politics, having guided our Nation through significant world 
events.
  We can point with pride to a man who rose to the chairmanship of the 
prestigious House Foreign Affairs Committee, advising Presidents and 
Secretaries of State, while never compromising the integrity of the 
institution in which he served.
  I was pleased to know ``Doc'' Morgan and honored to now represent the 
district he once served. After he retired, we regularly kept in touch. 
He was always a man of his word, with a depth and breadth of knowledge 
that he maintained all the years of his life.
  It is an honor and a privilege to be standing before you today, where 
he once stood, representing the next generation of southwestern 
Pennsylvanians.
  I hope that I can do credit to his legacy while serving in the U.S. 
Congress. I extend every sympathy to those who are now grieving his 
loss. He will not be forgotten.
