EXPRESSING SORROW OF THE HOUSE AT THE DEATH OF THE HONORABLE JULIAN C. 
         DIXON, MEMBER OF CONGRESS FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                      HON. JAMES A. TRAFICANT, JR.

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, December 8, 2000

  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, today, I was deeply saddened to hear of 
the passing of Julian C. Dixon.
  Mr. Dixon was a great member of Congress, and is to be commended for 
his accomplishments as the fifth ranking Democrat on the Appropriations 
Committee and as the ranking member on the House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence.
  He was well-known for his commitment to our nation's civil rights and 
for the instrumental role he played in minimizing the effects of 
natural disasters that struck his community. His leadership in the 
bipartisan effort to secure federal support for the Alameda Corridor 
project in Los Angeles and in obtaining federal funds for communities 
hard hit by cuts in defense spending are to also be commended.
  Julian C. Dixon will be sorely missed on Capitol Hill. I extend my 
deepest sympathy to his family.
