                         REMEMBERING LEO DIEHL

  (Mr. McGOVERN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I want to join with my colleague from 
Massachusetts, Congressman Barney Frank, in paying tribute to a great 
man, Leo Diehl, who recently died.
  He served as Tip O'Neill's right-hand man and was a great counselor 
not only to Tip, but to so many people who served in this Congress 
during those years. Those of us who were members of congressional staff 
remember him with great fondness and great respect.
  The great people who serve in this institution are not just the 
people who get elected, but often those who serve those who are 
elected. Leo Diehl was a wonderful man. The world has lost a great 
person.
