                        Monday, January 31, 2000

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of James R. ``Jim Bob'' 
Wallace, who passed away on January 20, 2000. James was born on March 
5, 1924 to Everett ``Dick'' and Jenny Irene Darnley Wallace.
  Mr. Wallace, a veteran of World War II, was a member of American 
Legion Post 52, Disabled American Veterans Post 117 and VFW Post 626, 
of which he was past commander. But his service was not limited to the 
military, James went out of his way to be an active member of his 
community as well. He was a member of Neffs United Methodist Church, 
the Fraternal Order of Eagles 456, the Order of Elks 419, the Sons of 
Italy 754 and served as the past president of the Timberwolf 
Association.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege for me to pay my last respects to a 
man who gave so much of himself to his country, his community and his 
family. James will be missed by all whose lives he touched. I am 
honored to have represented him and proud to call him a constituent.
