              RECOGNIZING THE PASSING OF WILLIAM C. CRAMER

  (Mr. YOUNG of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to announce to my 
colleagues the death of one of our former Members of Congress, William 
C. Cramer of St. Petersburg, Florida. Bill Cramer died on Saturday 
afternoon. He had served in the State House of Representatives prior to 
being elected to Congress where he served 16 years until he left after 
the election of 1970.
  Our heartfelt sympathies and condolences go out to his wife Sara and 
to

his three sons Billy, Mark, and Allyn. And I know that not only some of 
the Members today served with Mr. Cramer, but he continued to be a 
presence here in Washington and continued to make friends among the 
membership of the House.
  And I would say that, having been a member of his staff in the late 
1950s, in his district staff, and our friendship was a long-standing 
friendship, that I certainly shall miss Mr. Bill Cramer.
