                THE DANTE B. FASCELL NORTH-SOUTH CENTER

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENJAMIN A. GILMAN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 9, 1998

  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, today Representative Lee Hamilton and I are 
introducing H.R. 4757, to honor our esteemed former colleague, the 
former Chairman of the International Relations Committee Dante Fascell.
  This bill will rename the educational institution known as the North/
South Center, as the Dante B. Fascell North-South Center.
  Chairman Dante Fascell was responsible for establishing this Center 
in 1991 to promote better relations between the United States and the 
nations of Latin America and the Caribbean and Canada through 
cooperative study training and research. Today, we recognize the 
significant contribution Dante Fascell has made to U.S.--Latin American 
relations and indeed to so many other aspects of our foreign policy. He 
was dedicated legislator and statesman. It is a privilege to sponsor 
this measure to provide a modest means of recognizing a truly great 
American.
  Accordingly, I urge my colleagues to fully support this measure.

                               H.R. 4757

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,
