                      IN HONOR OF WILLIAM J. BROWN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 27, 2000

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of William J. 
Brown, former Ohio Attorney General, who passed away last week. He was 
a man who had the ability to bring true integrity and a human quality 
to politics.
  Born as a natural leader, Brown perfected the ability to get his 
point across in as little time as possible and still maintain context 
that was regarded as ``true genius''. He had the natural ability to 
motivate those around him with his focus and drive. Although he always 
had his heart and his mind focused on his goals, he refused to give in 
to the negativity of his work and kept the working environment free 
from strain and strife.
  William Brown had strong feelings and was dedicated to ``Ending the 
Political Pollution in Ohio''. It was through this issue that Brown was 
able to embrace the environment, soon after the first Earth Day was 
held in 1970. His career was colorful, successful and he was known for 
having strong views and the ability to back them up. Brown was a 
talented agent for public service. He selflessly gave of his time and 
support to many issues and was a strong supporter of team work.
  It is with a heavy heart that I ask my distinguished colleagues to 
join me in remembering William J. Brown. His memory will truly endure 
in the hearts of all that he was able to touch.
