                       A TRIBUTE TO GLENN POSHARD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DANNY K. DAVIS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Saturday, December 19, 1998

  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, There is no greater experience 
than to serve with the honorable men and women in pursuit of equality, 
justice and the making of a better world. Such has been my experience 
with the Honorable Glenn Poshard who is leaving this body to return to 
the land of Lincoln where he will be welcomed with open arms.
  Congressman Poshard has been an exemplary Member of this body for the 
past 10 years and such has championed the causes of the poor, veterans, 
senior citizens, those living in rural America, those in need of good 
schools, human services, good roads and the opportunities to pursue a 
good life.
  Glenn Poshard has represented the best of what it means to be an 
elected official, fierce loyalty to his constituents, acute 
understanding of the political process, a willingness to stand on 
principle for that which he believes in and to continue standing even 
if it puts him at a political disadvantage.
  Not only are the people of the 19th District of Illinois going to 
miss having Representative Poshard to represent them, all of America is 
going to miss a true public servant. Therefore, I and the people of the 
seventh District of Illinois extends best wishes to Representative 
Poshard and his family as they move to new vistas, new challenges, and 
new opportunities.
