                    TRIBUTE TO PROFESSOR ALLAN SAXE

                                 ______

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 14, 1999

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate one of 
Arlington, Texas's most civic-minded residents. Professor Allan Saxe 
was honored Saturday as Meals on Wheels of Tarrant County's Volunteer 
of the Year. Allan has been delivering meals to the elderly for 20 
years, but that is just the beginning of his charitable activities.
  Over the years, Allan has selflessly given away hundreds of thousands 
of dollars to community causes throughout Arlington. Whether it's the 
Saxe Museum or one of the two baseball fields that bare his name, you 
can't go far in the Arlington area without coming upon something 
honoring Allan's good works. There are so many things named after Allan 
in Arlington that even her says he can't keep track of them all.
  Allan has taught political science at the University of Texas at 
Arlington for many years. He has a strong attachment to the city and 
adds great color to our community. He is a regular columnist for the 
Star Telegram, and his opinionated columns often invoke intense 
responses from readers. Allan is also widely known for giving away much 
of what he has to charity, including all of a very large inheritance.
  This latest honor confirms Allan's status North Texas benefactor, 
both in terms of his time and money. Allan is simply one of those 
people that every community wishes they had more of. I am pleased to 
call him a friend, and am pleased to have him in my Congressional 
District.
  Allan, congratulations on being named Meals on Wheels of Tarrant 
County's Volunteer of the Year. This is another great honor in a life 
full of them.
