                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HOWARD COBLE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 16, 1997

  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, April 19, a gentleman renowned 
for his warm and pleasant greeting and service for many years to 
thousands of Senators and Representatives, staff members, journalists, 
and others involved in and around Capitol Hill will observe a milestone 
in his life.
  Bob Reed, the stately and congenial mixologist at The Monocle 
Restaurant, will celebrate his 70th birthday on Saturday.
  In the more than a quarter century that Mr. Reed has served his 
customers, he has become a friend to many, regardless of party 
affiliation or ideology. I am sure that my colleagues join me in 
extending our most sincere congratulations to Bob on this special day 
in his life and wish him many, many more birthday anniversaries in the 
years ahead.
