H 5570 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE May 24, 1995

the Committee on Agriculture, the distinguished chairman emeritus of the

Committee on Agriculture, and the

gentleman from Oklahoma, [Mr.

LUCAS], share in the sense of personal

loss and share in the sense of personal

pride regarding the contribution of

these employees. Perhaps an appropriate closing is this from Helen

Steiner Rice.

When I must leave you for a little while,

Please go on bravely with a gallant smile

And for my sake and in my name,

Live on and do all things the same—

Spend not your life in empty days,

But fill each waking hour in useful ways—

Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer,

And I in turn will comfort you and hold you

near.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the distinguished gentleman from Texas for taking this special time.

Mr. DE LA GARZA. I thank my distinguished colleague.

Mr. Speaker, if I might add a personal note, we notice that Mr. Bloomer

served at the screwworm eradication

plant in Mission, TX, the years when

my father worked there, so I feel certain that they knew each other in

those days and they have already found

each other up there and they are talking about the good old days at the

plant in Mission.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my two colleagues. The seven that we lost not

only belonged to APHIS, to USDA,

they belonged to our Nation and they

belong now to all of us. May they rest

in peace.

Mr. DE LA
