                              JULIAN DIXON

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, before coming to the Senate, I was a member 
of the California congressional delegation. Even though I am from the 
State of Nevada, they allowed me to be part of their deliberations and, 
in fact, when I came here, I was secretary-treasurer of the California 
congressional delegation. As a result of that association, I got to 
know Julian Dixon very well. He was a fine man. He came to Nevada for 
me on a number of occasions. He was an outspoken advocate of doing good 
things for the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia lost a 
very powerful voice when Julian Dixon's heart stopped beating.
  He also, as I indicated in my conversation with the Presiding Officer 
today, served very valiantly as a member of the Ethics Committee in the 
House of Representatives. In fact, the Presiding Officer served as a 
Member with him. In short, Julian Dixon, who was a great advocate for 
political causes throughout his entire political career, was a person 
who believed in the Congress. He believed in our form of government. 
His loss is a loss to our Nation. I extend my condolences to his entire 
family, recognizing that we lost a great patriot in Julian Dixon.
