                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 2, 1999

  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special 
tribute to Zachary Fisher, a true American patriot. H.J. Res. 46 passed 
unanimously today, and I would like to thank Mr. Fisher's surviving 
family and his friends for their continued commitment to the men and 
women who put their lives on the line for our country. Without their 
support, this legislation would not have been possible.
  First, I would like to thank Mrs. Elizabeth Fisher, his devoted wife 
who worked along-side Zach to help our service men and women; his 
brother, Larry Fisher; and his nephews, Anthony and Arnold Fisher who 
are carrying on his work. I would also like to thank his close friends, 
whose energies and expertise brought to life the many contributions 
Zach made--Mike Stern, a close and valued friend; Bill White, longtime 
Chief of Staff to Mr. Fisher and his dear friend Mary Asta.
