                    TRIBUTE TO FATHER JAMES W. SAUVE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. THOMAS E. PETRI

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 26, 1996

  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Speaker, it is with the deepest regret that I note the 
passing this past Monday, September 23, of Father James W. Sauve, who 
was most recently the executive director of the Association of Jesuit 
Colleges and Universities.
  Father Sauve was born in Two Rivers, WI, where his father Willard 
still lives. He spent 10 years at Marquette University in Milwaukee as 
a professor, campus minister and administrator; and another 10 years in 
Rome as Executive Secretary of the International Center for Jesuit 
Education.
  I believe other members will comment more fully on Father Sauve's 
accomplishments, but it is quite clear that he made immense 
contributions to education in general and Jesuit education in 
particular. In his passing, we have all suffered a great loss, but 
through his life we have all gained immeasurably. No greater tribute 
can be paid to any man.
  I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to Father Sauve's family and 
friends, and hope that they will not only mourn his death, but be able 
to celebrate his life.

                          ____________________
