       RECOGNIZING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND SERVICE OF LYNN ALCOCK

                                 ______
                                 

                    HON. F. JAMES SENSENBRENNER, JR.

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 28, 2004

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Rep. John Conyers and 
myself, I wish to extend our thanks and gratitude to Lynn Alcock, who 
is retiring this week after over 30 years of service as the calendar 
clerk on the House Judiciary Committee. Lynn has served admirably 
chairmen from both political parties, beginning with Chairman Peter 
Rodino and staying through the chairmanships of Jack Brooks, Henry 
Hyde, and now my three-plus years. These chairmen, I believe, came to 
the same conclusion I did: Lynn is a tremendous asset who cannot be 
replaced.
  Lynn hails from the Buckeye State of Ohio and began her congressional 
service in April of 1969 at the American Law Division of the 
Congressional Research Service, a nonpartisan congressional research 
arm of the Library of Congress. Three years later, Lynn began working 
for House Information Resources before coming to her job ``home'' since 
December of 1973--the House Judiciary Committee.
  Lynn is one of only a few who have worked for the House Judiciary 
Committee during both the impeachment of President Nixon and the 
impeachment of President Clinton. Her efforts making the Committee's 
work on these events available to the public will be particularly 
helpful to historians and scholars interested in these important 
events.
  Mr. Speaker, Lynn has served the House Judiciary Committee, the 
Congress, and the American people for over 30 years with dedication, 
excellence, and integrity. We thank her and know that she will be 
missed.
