SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) one of the most honored and highly re-
spected members of the United States House of
Representatives, Richard Bolling served the institu-
tion he cherished with great distinction and excel-
lence from 1949 to 1982;
(2) renowned for his knowledge of the proce-
dures and history of the House of Representatives,
Richard Bolling was a teacher, a mentor and an in-
spiration to his colleagues and to others outside of
the Congress;
(3) one of the true architects of real change in
the Congress, Richard Bolling was dedicated to de-
mocracy and saw it not as a state attained, but as
a continuing journey and a goal still to be reached;
(4) nationally known as a brilliant and insight-
ful student of Congress, Richard Bolling had a deep
devotion for sharing his love of the Congress an en-
couraging others to study and understand the insti-
tution and its democratic principles;
(5) placing great value on the play of ideas and
the pursuit of the ideal in self-governance, Richard
Bolling returned to the University of Missouri-Kan-
sas City after he retired from the Congress and
taught every semester until he died;
(6) Richard Bolling achieved great and impor-
tant things for this country; in the depths of his po-
litical soul, the fire never went out; and
