       MOURNING THE LOSS OF FORMER CONGRESSMAN JAMES C. CLEVELAND

  (Mr. BASS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BASS. Mr. Speaker, New Hampshire today mourns the loss yesterday 
of former Congressman James C. Cleveland. Congressman Cleveland served 
ably from the Second Congressional District in New Hampshire from 1963 
until 1980, when he retired and his seat was taken by now Senator Judd 
Gregg.
  Congressman Cleveland was a conservationist, a sportsman, an 
attorney. Indeed, he set up a law practice with my uncle in Concord in 
the fifties. I think what is most important to us was that Congressman 
Cleveland represented in the sixties and seventies

many of the values that we as Republicans now hold dear to us, fiscal 
conservatism and a concern for the environment as well.
  Mr. Speaker, I am saddened by the loss of Congressman Cleveland. He 
was a political ally. He was an adviser. But, most important to me, he 
was a dear friend.
