                       HONORING NORMAN D. SHUMWAY

  (Mr. DOOLITTLE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOOLITTLE. Mr. Speaker, shortly we will honor someone who was an 
outstanding Member of the House of Representatives for a number of 
years here, Congressman Norman D. Shumway, who served the 14th 
Congressional District for 12 years prior to his retirement at the end 
of the 101st Congress, ending in the first days of 1991. I was 
privileged to be his successor to Congress.
  Mr. Shumway had a distinguished career here and served on what was 
then called, I think, the Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs Committee 
and the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee.
  He has been a long, long-time resident of San Joaquin County and 
served on the board of supervisors there; and he and his wife were very 
involved in the community, made great contributions, and soon I believe 
the gentleman from California (Mr. Pombo) will be bringing up a 
resolution to name a post office in his honor.
  Norm Shumway epitomizes the type of person we would like to have 
representing the people of the United States, someone who believes in 
this country, in its values, someone who believes in faith and family 
and hard work, and someone who has a great appreciation for the 
blessings of freedom and who worked during his years here to promote 
the values that have made this country a great place to be.
  I have not seen Norm for several years. Norm and Luana, but I 
consider them dear friends, and I am very, very pleased to join with my 
colleagues here shortly in honoring Norm for the service that he had 
here.
