                         Tuesday, April 8, 1997

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring to your 
attention the retirement of Mr. David D. Clement, a key staff member on 
the Committee on Science. On March 21, 1997, Mr. Clement retired after 
35 years of Government service.
  Mr. Clement, a native of Vallejo, CA, began his career in the House 
of Representatives in June 1965 while still attending George Washington 
University. His early service on Capitol Hill included duty with the 
U.S. Capitol Police and the Clerk of the House. While serving as 
administrative assistant to the late Lawrence G. Williams, he was a 
congressional alternate member of the American Revolution Bicentennial 
Commission. He also served on the Republican staff of the Committee on 
Appropriations before joining the Science Committee in the spring of 
1977. He was appointed as chief of staff and chief counsel by 
Congressman Robert S. Walker in January 1989.
  Before coming to Washington, Clement served in the U.S. Marine Corps 
with the 1st Marine Division. He retired from the Naval Reserve in 
1995.
  He is a graduate of the George Washington University with a B.B.A. in 
1969 and a M.S. in 1972. He also graduated from the George Mason 
University School of Law in 1980 and is a member of the bars of the 
U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Military Appeals, the 
Commonwealth of Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, and Mr. 
Clement's many friends, in thanking Mr. Clement for his many years of 
service to the United States of America.
