                  SALUTE TO A FRIEND--JOHN K. MEAGHER

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. SHERWOOD L. BOEHLERT

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 15, 1997

  Mr. BOEHLERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to extend my congratulations to my 
great friend, John K. Meagher, who has recently been named the managing 
director of the newly established Tax & Trade Group at Cassidy and 
Associates.
  John has had a distinguished career which began when he and I served 
side-by-side on the staff of our own Congressman, former Rep. Alexander 
Pirnie of New York. We spent 5 years as colleagues and grew to be best 
friends. We have remained so to this day.
  John was always interested in the law and has served with distinction 
as Republican counsel to the Ways and Means Committee, as Assistant 
Secretary of the Treasury under Secretaries Baker and Brady as a 
partner in the law firm of Le Boeuf, Lamb, Greene and Mac Rae.
  He not only understands the law, he understands the Congress and the 
executive branch as well. He's been both places as a junior staffer and 
as a high official. He knows us and how we work.
  As he and his colleagues in the Tax & Trade Group embark on their new 
and exciting venture, I wish my friend well.

                          ____________________
