              TRIBUTE TO HON. TOBY ROTH ON HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. G.V. (SONNY) MONTGOMERY

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 30, 1996

  Mr. MONTGOMERY. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to add my 
congratulations to Congressman Toby Roth. After 18 years of service to 
his home State of Wisconsin, this will be his last term, and I wish him 
well in his retirement.
  During this time here in Congress, Toby Roth has represented his 
State well. He is a respected Member of Congress on several key issues, 
and he is particularly well known in Congress for his ability on 
international matters. No one in the House is more knowledgeable or 
more articulate on these issues. He has played a part in just about 
every major foreign policy decisions that has taken place in Congress 
over the last 10 years.
  He and I have shared an interest in lowering Government spending and 
lowering taxes. That is why we have so often been recipients of the 
same awards and recognition. I know that I am on the right track on a 
fiscal issue if I see Representative Roth voting the same way.
  You have been an asset to Washington, and you will be missed. I wish 
you, your wife Barbara, and your three children much happiness in the 
future.
