            DANTE B. FASCELL NORTH-SOUTH CENTER ACT OF 1991

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                           HON. AMO HOUGHTON

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 12, 1998

  Mr. HOUGHTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to applaud the University of 
Miami for naming the North-South Center after one of their most 
esteemed graduates and one of the greatest Members of Congress to sit 
in this chamber--Dante Fascell.
  My experience with Dante really started when I joined the 
International Relations Committee in 1988. Dante was Chairman. He was 
always fair, even handed, and very knowledgeable in all matters of 
international relations--especially on issues pertaining to the U.S.-
Latin America relationship. That's why I feel that naming the Center 
after Dante is particularly appropriate.
  Dante Fascell has contributed so much to the North-South Center, the 
University of Miami, the Congress, the Nation, and the world. I'm so 
glad that he's been honored so appropriately. I think I speak for 
everyone, Mr. Speaker, when I say that we all miss him dearly.
