             THE 104TH CONGRESS WELCOMES EMILY ALEXA FIELDS

                                 ______


                         HON. MICHAEL G. OXLEY

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 23, 1996

  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, I want to share some joyous news with you and 
all my colleagues. Our good friend, Jack Fields of Texas, recently 
welcomed a new addition to his family--a daughter, Emily Alexa, born in 
Houston on Thursday, January 18.
  I know you and all my colleagues join me in congratulating Jack and 
his lovely wife, Lynn, on Emily's birth. Emily was born at 3:01 p.m. 
CST on Thursday at Methodist Hospital in Houston, and, thankfully, both 
Lynn and Emily are feeling fine. Emily weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces and 
was 20 inches in length.
  As you know, Jack announced last month that this will be his last 
term in Congress. In his retirement announcement, Jack made clear his 
desire to spend more time with his family--Lynn, Josh, Jordan, and now, 
Emily.
  I know you join with me, Mr. Speaker, in extending to the Fields 
family our congratulations and our very best wishes on this joyous 
news.
