                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                    HON. F. JAMES SENSENBRENNER, JR.

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 18, 1996

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
gentleman from Alabama, Mr. Glen Browder, for his service in the U.S. 
House of Representatives on behalf of Alabama's Third District 
residents.
  Mr. Browder first entered the public arena in 1982, winning a seat to 
the Alabama House of Representatives. Four years later, he was elected 
secretary of state, where he succeeded in persuading the legislature to 
adopt stricter campaign finance disclosures.
  In 1989, Mr. Browder won a special election contest for Congress, 
where he has honorably represented Alabama's Third District ever since.
  While in Congress, Mr. Browder has been a bipartisan leader in the 
push for campaign finance reform. He deserves thanks for his leadership 
in attacking this and other difficult issues. Furthermore, he has been 
active on the House Budget Committee in attempting to eliminate 
wasteful Federal Government spending.
  On behalf of the citizens of Wisconsin's Ninth District, I thank Mr. 
Glen Browder for his outstanding service to the United States.

                          ____________________
