     TRIBUTE TO LYMAN BROWNFIELD ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 15, 1997

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding citizen of Ohio. Lyman Brownfield is retiring after decades 
of outstanding service as an attorney and community leader.
  As Lyman retires, he can have the satisfaction of knowing that his 
career will stand as a hallmark for others to emulate. Over the years, 
both his clients and the citizens of the community have depended on him 
for assistance in solving problems and providing sound judgment on many 
issues in the region.
  Lyman has always put forth a great amount of time and energy in 
vigorous support of his clients' causes and in community service. Long 
recognized as one of Ohio's most brilliant attorneys, he also took the 
time to train and help young lawyers to learn the skills of their 
profession. He served in many capacities in professional organizations 
and Government including exemplary service as general counsel of the 
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
  Mr. Speaker, we have often heard that America works because of the 
unselfish contributions of her citizens. I know that Ohio is a much 
better place to live because of the dedication and countless hours of 
effort given by Lyman Brownfield. While Lyman may be retiring he has 
left an indelible stamp on those who know him and on Ohio.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in paying a special tribute to Lyman 
Brownfield's record of personal accomplishments and wishing him all the 
best in the years ahead.
