             DAN CANTU--IN APPRECIATION OF A JOB WELL DONE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JIM LIGHTFOOT

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 24, 1996

  Mr. LIGHTFOOT. Mr. Speaker, this week the House of Representatives 
will be losing one of its finest staff members when Dan Cantu leaves us 
to begin, with his wife Karin, law school at the University of Chicago.
  For the past 4 years Dan has served on the professional staff of the 
House Appropriations Committee, and, specifically, as a staff member on 
my Treasury Appropriations Subcommittee. Dan Cantu embodies the 
professionalism and excellence found throughout the entire staff of the 
House Appropriations Committee. Dan has worked on some of the most 
difficult, challenging, and technical issues under our subcommittee's 
jurisdiction. In every instance, he has risen to the challenges 
presented him with grace and good humor and helped the Congress reach 
agreement on what are often extremely difficult fiscal and policy 
issues.
  The House is not only losing an excellent staff member, I am losing 
someone I have come to rely upon and who has become my friend. All of 
us on the Treasury Appropriations Subcommittee wish Dan and Karin all 
the best as they begin their studies.
