                      CONGRESSMAN JULIAN C. DIXON

  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, the House is not in session because of the 
funeral of Congressman Julian Dixon.
  Many here in the Senate did not know the Congressman, but I did. I 
had the great opportunity to serve with him in the most difficult of 
circumstances. We served on the Ethics Committee together during the 
period in which Jim Wright was examined for what was believed to be, 
and what was later found to be, unethical activities for which he 
finally resigned.
  Julian Dixon was a fine American. Oh, yes, he was a partisan. But 
when it came to the responsibility of leadership, there was no question 
that his chairmanship of the Ethics Committee during that time was 
fair, equitable, and responsible. I must tell you that in working with 
him during those long hours and difficult times, I grew to respect him 
a great deal. I must say that we have lost a great public servant in 
the death of Congressman Julian Dixon. I will miss him. I think all of 
us will.
