            HONORING AMBASSADOR SHYAMULA B. COWSICK OF INDIA

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BILL McCOLLUM

                      Wednesday, November 5, 1997

  Mr. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, I am here today to honor the outgoing 
Deputy Chief of Mission of India, Ambassador Shyamula Cowsick. Over the 
past 2 years, I have had the pleasure of working closely with the 
Ambassador on improving relations between our two nations. The 
Ambassador has always been available to provide special briefings and 
materials as we worked through issues. Her involvement allowed the two 
nations to make historic progress at the legislative, executive, and 
non-governmental levels through an explosion of contacts and ongoing 
dialogues. Her special insight was valuable in that it allowed her to 
bridge the cultural and political gap that frequently confronts policy 
makers. As co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian-
Americans, it has been my pleasure to work with Ambassador Cowsick, and 
I am sure that my colleagues will join me in wishing her continued 
success.
