WOLF\n\n                              of virginia\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                        Friday, October 7, 1994\n\n  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure for me to join with my\ncolleagues in recognizing the outstanding service to Congress and our\nnation of my friend and colleague, Helen Delich Bentley.\n  For the last 10 years, Helen has been the beloved representative for\nMaryland's 2nd District, which stretches all the way from southeastern\nBaltimore County, near the Port of Baltimore, to the northern borders\nof Maryland, near the Delaware and Pennsylvania borders. Needles to\nsay, her constituency is diverse and varied; nevertheless Helen has\nearned the respect and admiration of her constituents, who have re-\nelected her the last three times impressively with over 65 percent of\nthe vote.\n  As a Representative from the neighboring State of Virginia, in\naddition to being a friend of Helen's, I know first-hand how hard Helen\nhas worked on behalf of her district and our nation. She came to the\nHouse in 1984 following her service as the Chairwoman of the Federal\nMaritime Commission, which at that time made her the highest-ranking\nwoman in the Federal Government. As many of you know, the City of\nBaltimore is a dynamic and exciting city, ranging from the Inner harbor\nto Oriole Park at Camden yards; from Little Italy to Fells Point. One\nof Baltimore's biggest industries and landmarks, however, is the Port\nof Baltimore, and Helen has worked tirelessly to promote this port and\nprotect its workers. This has included her work for dredging at the\nPort of Baltimore to accommodate more ships and helping to settle\nlabor-management disputes at the Port. Her expertise and dedication on\nthis issue will be missed.\n  Everyone in this body who knows Helen, more importantly, knows of\nHelen's integrity and steadfastness. Helen will never quit in the face\nof adversity; Helen will never run for cover when she believes she is\nright on an issue. Of course, this is different that the art of\ncompromise. Helen has had great success working in a bipartisan manner\nto reach objectives helpful to her district and the country. However,\nHelen is as committed a member of this House as you will find. Helen\nand I may not have agreed on every issue, although we certainly agree\non most. However, I have the greatest respect for Helen's honesty and\ndevotion--when Helen Bentley says she will work on something for you,\nshe will be by your side through good and bad. Her presence and ability\nwill be greatly missed, and it is a pleasure for me in wishing Helen,\nher husband William and her family all the best as she begins her\nretirement.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1994-10-08-pt1-PgE33"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 41.44921398255974, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
