            REMEMBERING CHARLES ELSON ``BUDDY'' ROEMER, III

  (Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise in memory of Charles 
Elson ``Buddy'' Roemer, III, who was born October 4, 1943, and died on 
May 17 of this year, a couple of days ago, went home to his reward.
  Buddy was a very nice guy, and he had a saying: ``I love Louisiana, 
but I hate Louisiana politics.'' Many of us can understand that remark.
  He was an American patriot, an investor, and a banker. He served in 
this body, the House of Representatives, from 1981-1988. He was the 
52nd Governor of Louisiana, 1988-1992. He will be missed, remembered, 
loved, and respected.
