                         GERARD LOUGEE MEMORIAL

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, earlier this month the U.S. Senate lost 
another member of its family. Gerard Lougee passed away on January 6th 
at the Washington Hospital Center. Gerard worked in the Senate post 
office as a mail carrier for the past eighteen years. He was a graduate 
of Cardoza High School and attended the National Presbyterian Church in 
Washington D.C. He began work in the Senate in 1982 after working in 
the White House mail room. During his career in the Senate post office 
Gerard was recognized for his perfect attendance record, as well as 
numerous other performance awards. Many of our Senate staff will 
remember Gerard as he traveled the corridors of Congress delivering the 
mail with diligence and pride. He will be sorely missed not only by his 
mail room colleagues but by all of the Senate family. On behalf of the 
Senate I thank Gerard for his service and dedication and express our 
condolences to his family.
