BENJAMIN A. GILMAN\n\n                              of new york\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                        Friday, October 7, 1994\n\n  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to join our colleagues in\npaying tribute to the gentlelady from Maryland, Mrs. Helen Delich\nBentley.\n  I remember Mrs. Bentley's first election to the Congress in 1984,\nbecause her reputation preceded her: a reputation as a no-nonsense, get\nthings done individual, which was earned during her numerous careers as\na successful businesswoman, newspaper reporter and editor, and Chairman\nof the Federal Maritime Commission.\n  Helen Bentley's mark on this chamber will not be soon forgotten. Her\nservice on the Appropriations Committee, especially on the Subcommittee\non Labor, Health & Human Services, and Education, as well as on the\nSubcommittee on Military Construction, established her reputation as an\neasily accessible as well as a highly knowledgeable colleague.\n  Quite often, when a Member of Congress retires, we are hard pressed\nto find a suitable way to memorialize that Member. This is not the case\nwith Helen Delich Bentley: her memorial is and remains the harbor in\nthe City of Baltimore. Once, Helen told an interviewer, ``I feel like\nthe mother of modern Baltimore.'' This was an entirely apt self-\ndescription: even before coming to the Congress, Helen was working hard\nto modernize and dredge the harbor. Today, Baltimore Harbor is not only\none of the busiest ports anywhere in the world, it is also now\nrecognized as a major tourist and business attraction. This development\nowes more to Helen Delich Bentley than to anyone else.\n  Mr. Speaker, I invite all of our colleagues to join me in saluting\nHelen Delich Bentley, and extending our best wishes to her and her\nhusband William, with hopes for a long, healthy, happy and productive\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-PgE37"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 19.813335966318846, "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"}
