                 IN REMEMBRANCE OF JOSEPH HUGH MACAULAY

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CONSTANCE A. MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 2, 2001

  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor and commemorate the life 
of my constituent, Joseph Hugh Macaulay. Mr. Macaulay, age 77, passed 
away on July 13th at Georgetown University Hospital of leukemia.
  ``Mac,'' as he was known by his friends and colleagues, served as a 
congressional aide for more that 30 years. He worked for many different 
members of Congress, before retiring in 1980 as Chief of Staff to 
Representative John J. Rhodes, Republican from Arizona, in the 
Republican Leader's Office.
  Mr. Macaulay came to Washington after World War II as a Navy liaison 
with the U.S. House of Representatives. He began his Capitol Hill 
experience in 1947, working for Representative Henry J. Latham, 
Republican of New York. For many years, from 1948 to 1964, Mr. Macaulay 
served on the staff of Representative Charles B. Hoeven, Republican 
from Iowa. After working for Representative Charlotte Reid, Republican 
of Illinois, until 1971, Mr. Macaulay spent three years as 
administrative assistant with Representative Leslie Arends, Republican 
from Illinois, who was the Minority Whip. He worked for a year with 
Representative Virginia Smith, Republican of Nebraska, before joining 
Congressman Rhodes's office in 1976.
  During these many years of dedicated service on Capitol Hill, Mr. 
Macaulay also had edited ``Legislative Alert,'' a publication for 
Republican Members which tracked legislation scheduled for 
consideration and debate on the House Floor.
  In all of his many important positions on Capitol Hill, Mr. Macaulay 
served diligently behind the scenes while never seeking recognition for 
himself. In addition to his many years of public service, he was 
committed to his community. For example, Mr. Macaulay volunteered for 
the past ten years in my district with the Children's Inn at the 
National Institutes of Health.
  Mr. Macaulay, who lived in Bethesda, was a Wisconsin native. He was a 
graduate of George Washington University and studied at John Hopkins 
University's School of Advanced International Studies under the 
American Political Science Association Congressional staff award. He 
was a Navy veteran of World War II.
  Survivors include his wife, Patsy, of Bethesda; two sons, Scott of 
New York, and Colin, of Philadelphia; a sister; and a granddaughter.
