                     TRIBUTE TO FATHER JAMES SAUVE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENJAMIN A. GILMAN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 26, 1996

  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to join with my colleagues in 
paying tribute to an outstanding American who passed away earlier this 
week.
  Father James Sauve, the executive director of the Association of 
Jesuit Colleges and Universities, was a highly respected educator. As 
the director of the International Center for Jesuit Education in Rome, 
as the official representative of the 28 Jesuit colleges and 
universities, and as a highly respected pastor, Father Sauve threw 
himself into his work with gusto and zeal, and in so doing earned the 
respect of all of us.
  Father Sauve was a graduate of Spring Hill College in Alabama, and 
received his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. He was proficient in 
six languages, and traveled extensively throughout the world.
  Father Sauve's sudden passing was a loss not only to the Jesuit 
world, but to all of us who appreciate learning and understanding of 
all cultures.
  We join in the sorrow of Father Sauve's surviving family, which 
consists of his father, Willard, and his brother, Dudley, and his 
family. We also join all of Father Sauve's many students whose sense of 
loss must be immense.
