                         GERARD LOUGEE MEMORIAL

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, earlier this month the U.S. Senate lost 
another member of its family. Gerard Lougee passed away on January 6th 
at the Washington Hospital Center. Gerard worked in the Senate post 
office as a mail carrier for the past eighteen years. He was a graduate 
of Cardoza High School and attended the National Presbyterian Church in 
Washington

D.C. He began work in the Senate in 1982 after working in the White 
House mail room. During his career in the Senate post office Gerard was 
recognized for his perfect attendance record, as well as numerous other 
performance awards. Many of our Senate staff will remember Gerard as he 
traveled the corridors of Congress delivering the mail with diligence 
and pride. He will be sorely missed not only by his mail room 
colleagues but by all of the Senate family. On behalf of the Senate I 
thank Gerard for his service and dedication and express our condolences 
to his family.
