                        A TRIBUTE TO WILL RUBENS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETER T. KING

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 5, 1999

  Mr. KING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge just how fortunate 
I, my staff and the people of the Third District of New York were to 
have an intern that could serve as both Commissioner of Food and 
Beverage and Director of Internal Security for the past two months. To 
some he was known as Will Rubens but to me he was simply, ``The 
Commish''. Forget the fact that my Notre Dame doormat was stolen or the 
fact that my model E-2C Hawkeye was vandalized under his watch. In his 
investigation of these crimes, the Commish' was undeterred and never 
allowed conspiracy theories to be generated by anyone other than 
himself. There was never a business card fight he didn't prematurely 
end for the sake of my staff or a private conversation he didn't 
interrupt. Despite the increase in crime in my office over the last two 
months I know that the Commish's powers are being wasted here while 
numerous crimes of ineptitude go unresolved on the football fields of 
the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor--an ineptitude which will be 
glaringly disclosed when Notre Dame's Fighting Irish pulverize the 
Wolverines on September 4th. I am confident that the Commish' will go 
on to bigger and better

things and it has truly been a pleasure and honor to have him work in 
my office this summer. His intelligence and unique sense of humor will 
be missed. I thank you Will for all your hard work and effort. All the 
best.
