               TRIBUTE TO SENATOR DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the Speaker's announced policy of 
January 19, 1999, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Crowley) is 
recognized during morning hour debates for 2 minutes.
  Mr. CROWLEY. Mr. Speaker, time will not permit me to read my prepared 
remarks, Senator, so I will just summarize them. As a veteran of Hell's 
Kitchen, I went to Power Memorial High School in Hell's Kitchen, so we 
have that in common.
  As a veteran of World War II, as a veteran of academia, as a veteran 
of four administrations serving as a cabinet official or sub-cabinet 
official, as a veteran of the U.N. and as a veteran of the United 
States Senate, what a career, what a life, a life that would be admired 
and is admired by all Americans. But especially we in New York admire 
you for your service to our State, to our city and to our country.
  You have been an inspiration to millions of Americans, especially to 
the poor, for your work in dealing with the poor and helping those who 
are least fortunate. Really, I believe following through on the beliefs 
that you were taught as a young man I am sure and throughout your 
entire career, you have stuck to them, always looking out for the most 
unfortunate among us.
  We are going to miss you here in Washington, but we are going to have 
you, we hope, a lot more back in New York where we can all cherish you 
as we have right now.
  In the words of our ancestors, let me summarize by saying, may the 
road rise up to meet you, and may the wind be always at your back, your 
wife Liz's back, and your entire family.
  God bless you, Senator.
