 A TRIBUTE TO THE HONORABLE ANDY JACOBS FOR OUTSTANDING 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, today, I rise to pay tribute to the 
gentleman from Indiana, the Honorable Andy Jacobs, who has loyally 
served the residents of Indiana's Tenth District for 30 years as their 
Representative in the U.S. Congress.
  Andy's service to our country began during the Korean war, when he 
served in the Marine Corps. In 1964, he was elected as a Representative 
from Indiana, a duty which he has honorably fulfilled for 30 years.
  Throughout his service, Andy has been a frugal and prudent guardian 
of Federal spending. He has supported the balanced budget amendment and 
the ``A to Z'' spending cuts. Furthermore, he played a key role in 
converting the Social Security Administration to an independent agency 
and in limiting employer's need to pay Social Security taxes for part-
time domestic workers.
  Andy is a straightforward and unassuming leader who continually has 
demonstrated the ability to vote for what he believes is right. 
Political winds and pressure have not affected his decisions. Andy's 
humor in the dining room and other places will be sorely missed. This 
body will be losing a great Representative and American when Andy 
leaves here.
  On behalf of the citizens of Wisconsin's Ninth district, I thank the 
Honorable Andy Jacobs for his outstanding service to the people of the 
United States.
