TRIBUTE TO THE HONORABLE JOHN T. MYERS FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE TO THE 
                     CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES

                                 ______
                                 

                    HON. F. JAMES SENSENBRENNER, JR.

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                      Saturday, September 28, 1996

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
distinguished representative from Indiana, the Honorable John Myers. 
For the past 30 years, John has faithfully represented the people of 
Indiana's Seventh District.
  John's service began not in Congress but in the Army during World War 
II. He was a private citizen for 20 years before being elected to 
Congress in 1966.
  John's service has been marked by his civility and cooperation with 
Members. John's skills enabled differing sides often to reach a 
reasonable consensus on difficult issues. He has been a bipartisan 
Member whose efforts ensured the completion of many water and energy 
projects. In short, John Myers will be missed here in Congress.
  On behalf of the citizens of Wisconsin's Ninth District, I thank the 
Honorable John T. Myers for his service to the House of Representatives 
and the United States.
