                      THE HONORABLE JOHN J. RHODES

                          HON. J. D. HAYWORTH

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 17, 2003

  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, as is the case with so many colleagues 
past and present, I am honored to have the friendship and good counsel 
of the distinguished former House Republican Leader, the Honorable John 
J. Rhodes of Arizona. It is my personal privilege also to count John 
Rhodes as a constituent of the Fifth Congressional District of Arizona.
  John Rhodes' many contributions to our state, to our nation, and to 
this institution of representative government are widely documented and 
recognized, most recently by his deserved selection to be among the 
first recipient of the congressional Distinguished Service Award last 
week.
  The bestowment of that award inspired many congratulatory expressions 
about the life and career of John Rhodes.

                          ____________________
