                          HON. STENY H. HOYER

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 5, 2003

  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Edward D. 
Casey on his retirement from the Capital-Gazette Newspapers, and his 
election to the Maryland press association's hall of fame. I would also 
like to thank him for his years of service to our community.
  For 30 years, Mr. Casey has been the editorial voice of the Capital. 
In March when he is officially inducted, he will join 35 other 
outstanding newspaper men and women who have been similarly honored 
over the years by the Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association.
  Mr. Casey is respected throughout Maryland for being a pioneer and 
effective advocate for the freedom of information project, especially 
during his service as president of the Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press 
Association.
  Prior to joining the Capital, Mr. Casey was editor of the Daily 
Advance in Dover, NJ for six years. He began working in newspapers as a 
sports editor in 1957 at the Binghamton Press in New York. He also 
worked as a sports editor for the Endicott Bulletin in New York and 
managing editor of the Binghamton Sun-Bulletin.
  I congratulate Mr. Casey in his retirement, and I wish him every 
success in his future endeavors.
