                  TRIBUTE TO CONGRESSWOMAN ENID GREENE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES V. HANSEN

                                of utah

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 3, 1996

  Mr. HANSEN. Mr. Speaker, as this historic session of Congress draws 
to a close, I wanted to take a moment and reflect upon the 
contributions of one of its finest Members--Enid Greene. I have been 
proud to associate myself with Enid during the past 2 years, and I am 
sorry to see her leaving so soon.
  Few will ever know the hard work, the long hours, and the dedication 
she has shown. Her tireless work on the Rules Committee has helped to 
fashion some of the most important legislation we have seen in decades; 
the balanced budget amendment, the line-item veto, welfare reform, and 
many, many others. She is a principled person of the highest integrity 
who has weathered some of the roughest personal seas that could ever be 
imagined. Through it all, she never lost her vision or gave up on her 
responsibilities in the Congress. She showed that she was able to 
continue working despite personal hardships. I marvel at her talents 
and abilities. She has much to offer, and I know that she will yet 
contribute in many other ways. I know that I join my colleagues in 
thanking Enid for her efforts, and wish her well in the future.
