  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay my respects and honor a 
community leader and loyal Democrat, Mr. Frank J. Baley. Frank Baley 
passed away on Saturday, July 10, 1999 at the age of sixty-nine.
  Frank Baley was a devoted public servant and a leader of the Village 
of Stickney for ten years. He began his political career as a 
Democratic precinct captain and later served as a member of the 
Stickney Library Board. In 1965, he was elected Democratic committeeman 
of Stickney Township and remained a member of the Stickney Township 
Regular Democratic Organization until his death. He was elected a 
trustee on the Stickney Village Board in 1966, and held that position 
for twenty-three years before being elected village president in 1989.
  In addition to his political career, Mr. Baley was an insurance and 
real estate broker. He also held various positions with the Cook County 
assessor's office and the clerk of the Circuit Court, where he served 
as the director of the criminal division.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct honor to pay tribute to Mr. Baley. As 
a valuable and revered public servant and community leader, he will be 
greatly missed.
