                        TRIBUTE TO MARTHA MOORE

                                 ______


                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 18, 1995

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a special 
friend and an outstanding citizen of Ohio. On October 23, friends of 
Martha C. Moore will gather in her beloved Muskingum College in New 
Concord, OH, to honor her lifelong commitment to American politics, 
education, and her community.
  I had the privilege of working with Martha for many years while I was 
a member of the Ohio State Senate. Miss Moore was first elected to the 
Ohio Republican State Central and Executive Committee in 1950 and she 
currently serves as the committee person from the 18th District. She 
has previously served as the committee person from the 15th and 17th 
District. Miss Moore's dedicated work was crucial to Republicans in 
gaining control of the State senate in 1980.
  While serving as a professor of speech at Muskingum College, she 
helped shape the lives of generations of students through her 
thoughtful tutelage. In 1986, Miss Moore was awarded the Distinguished 
Alumni Award from Muskingum College.
  Throughout her many years in politics, Martha has demonstrated her 
deep faith in, and dedication to, upholding the principles of American 
democracy. The status of the Republican Party in Ohio today has been 
secured by Martha's dedication and her reputation as a political 
wizard. Yet, she consistently deflects personal praise, focusing 
instead on the team effort involved in election campaigns.
  Mr. Speaker, we have often heard that America works because of the 
unselfish contributions of her citizens. I know Ohio is a much better 
place to live because of the dedication and countless hours of service 
given over the years by Martha.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in paying a special tribute to Martha 
Moore's record of personal accomplishments.
