  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, I hereby offer my heartfelt condolences to the family and 
friends of William Hinig; and
  Whereas, William Hinig was a highly esteemed legislator who served in 
the Ohio House of Representatives for twenty-five years; and
  Whereas, William Hinig worked tirelessly as Chairman of both the 
House Ways and Means Committee and the House Finance and Appropriations 
Committee to promote bipartisanship and help the people of Ohio; and
  Whereas, William Hinig honorably fought for his country during World 
War II, receiving a Purple Heart for injuries received at Normandy; and
  Whereas, William Hinig worked in and contributed to the financial 
industry by aiding in the founding of the accounting firm of Hinig and 
Miller; and
  Whereas, the integrity William Hinig possessed, and the compassion he 
showed towards others, will stand as reminders to a truly remarkable 
person. His life and love gave joy to all who knew him.
  Therefore, while I understand how words cannot express our grief at 
this most trying of times, I offer this token of profound sympathy to 
the family and friends of William Hinig.

                          ____________________
