                          TRIBUTE TO VIC FAZIO

  (Mr. DIXON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DIXON. Mr. Speaker, one of the best benefits of holding public 
office is to meet colleagues who have integrity, who work for 
consensus, who are bridge builders. Vic Fazio is that type of person.
  I was very sorry that I could not be on the floor when the California 
delegation saluted him. We worked together in Sacramento and we worked 
together on the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct here, and 
for 20 years on the Committee on Appropriations.
  The sad thing is that he is leaving this institution, but he leaves a 
great deal of friends here and we are very pleased that he will remain 
in Washington. He will now have the time to spend with his family, to 
regulate his own schedule, and I know that all of our colleagues wish 
he and Judy very well.
