   RECOGNIZING LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO'S CENTER FOR PUBLIC SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RAHM EMANUEL

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 26, 2007

  Mr. EMANUEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize; Loyola 
University Chicago for its enduring commitment to community service and 
its creation of the Center for Public Service. I am pleased that the 
Center will house the congressional papers of former Congressman Henry 
J. Hyde and former Congressman Dan Rostenkowski.
  Loyola's Center for Public Service will undertake the task of 
encouraging citizens to dedicate their lives to civil service and 
government. Through research and discourse, this non-partisan academic 
unit will increase education on important policy issues.
  Both Congressman Hyde and Congressman Rostenkowski attended Loyola, 
so it seems fitting that their work will be preserved there.
  Congressman Hyde recently retired from Congress after serving the 
people of the Sixth district of Illinois for 15 terms. The former Dean 
of the Illinois delegation served as Chairman of the Judiciary 
Committee from 1995-2001 and was later Chairman of the International 
Relations Committee.
  Congressman Rostenkowski, or Mr. Chairman as he is still known, 
served my district in the House and was a legislative force for 34 
years. As the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, he played an 
important role in tax and trade policy for thirteen years.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate Loyola University Chicago for its 
creation of the Center for Public Service and its collection of the 
congressional papers of former Congressmen Henry J. Hyde and Dan 
Rostenkowski. I wish its faculty, staff and students the best of luck 
as they pursue lives of public service.
