                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NANCY PELOSI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 12, 1998

  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, it saddens me to say goodbye to my dear 
friend and colleague, Jane Harman, who in three terms in office has 
distinguished herself in the House of Representatives. Jane is leaving 
office at the end of the 105th Congress and her thoughtful approach to 
legislation and her fighting spirit will be sorely missed.
  Many of my colleagues, and especially those of us in the California 
delegation, know of her tenacity and commitment to the key issues that 
support America's families. This fighting spirit has been an 
inspiration to us all whether it was in debates over smaller classes 
for our children, economic opportunity for all, or a woman's right to 
choose.
  Jane Harman, thank you for being in the trenches; thank you for your 
leadership; thank you for making this House a better place because of 
your commitment to the people of this great nation.
