                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 1, 1996

  Mr. MONTGOMERY. Mr. Speaker, as I prepare to retire at the end of 
this Congress, there are many people that I want to express my 
appreciation. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my 
colleagues for the great help and respect they have given me through 
out the years. In the recent months, they have made a special effort to 
tell me how much they enjoyed serving with me. My fellow 
Representatives wished me well in my future endeavors, and I do 
appreciate all the warm regards and kind thoughts.
  Additionally, I owe the staffs on Capitol Hill my thanks. The 
staffers have given my office a great deal of help and assistance over 
the many years. Because of them, my job was made much easier.
  Finally, a special thanks to all the different organizations that 
have honored me in the last few months: National Guard Association of 
the United States, Mississippi State University, the veterans 
organizations, the armed services YMCA, and the Mississippi Society, 
just to name a few, have given me receptions, dinners, and many 
wonderful memories.
  Thank you all.
