                     Wednesday, September 18, 1996

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to the 
gentleman from Alabama, Mr. Tom Bevill, who has honorably served the 
residents of Alabama's Fourth District for the past 30 years as their 
Representative in the United States Congress.
  Mr. Bevill first served our country in the U.S. Army during World War 
II. A few years later, he began representing Alabama citizens in the 
Alabama House of Representatives, where he served for 8 years.
  Beginning in 1967, Mr. Bevill has represented the northern region of 
Alabama in Congress. Through his years, Mr. Bevill has earned the 
respect of his congressional colleagues and the public alike. Thanks to 
his efforts, many water and energy project ideas became a reality.
  Mr. Bevill's constituents appreciated his hard work and efforts, 
rewarding him with large reelection margins each times.
  Over his years in Congress, Mr. Bevill has truly been the 
distinguished gentleman from Alabama.
  On behalf of the citizens of Wisconsin's Ninth District, I thank Mr. 
Tom Bevill for his outstanding service to the United States.
