          ANNOUNCING THE PASSING OF THE HONORABLE RALPH REGULA

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, as dean of the Ohio delegation, I am greatly 
saddened to inform the Members that our former colleague, Ralph Regula, 
who was the dean of the Ohio delegation, has passed away.
  Ralph was 92 years of age. He had the honor of serving his 
constituents back home in Ohio for 36 years. He was a key player on the 
Appropriations Committee for many years. He will be truly missed.
  I wanted to inform the Members that Congressman Bob Gibbs--Ralph was 
a constituent of Congressman Gibbs--will be organizing a Special Order 
next week. So Members who are interested, on either side of the aisle, 
in participating in that should contact Representative Gibbs' office.
