                      THE DEATH OF ROBERT MARLOWE

 Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, it is with regret that I must 
report the recent passing of a true leader in Georgia agriculture. 
Long-time Georgia Farm Bureau Director, Robert W. ``Bob'' Marlowe, died 
on March 26 in his home in Macon, GA, after a brief illness.
  Mr. Marlowe was a true leader at the Farm Bureau and was a solid 
citizen. A native of Barrow County, GA, Bob graduated from the 
University of Georgia before teaching in his local school system for a 
number of years. After leaving teaching, Bob returned to production 
agriculture, working for the Cotton Producers Association as a poultry 
adviser and managing co-op stores. Bob worked for the Georgia Farm 
Bureau in Macon for 23 years and was an active member of his church and 
community organizations such as the Lions Club. He was also active in 
agriculture advocacy through his appointment on the Government's 
Advisory Council for Tri-State Water Issues and through his work with 
the State's various commodity commissions. I can attest that he was 
very helpful in my office's efforts in the formulation of the 1996 farm 
bill.
  I know that Bob will be missed greatly by his family and colleagues 
at Georgia Farm Bureau. Georgia agriculture and this office will surely 
miss the likes of Bob Marlowe and I salute him for his exemplary 
service to our State and the Nation.
