PHILIP M. CRANE\n\n                              of illinois\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                        Friday, October 7, 1994\n\n  Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, a number of Members of this House of\nRepresentatives of the 103d Congress, for various reasons, will not be\nwith us in the 104th Congress. And of that group, one who will be\nsorely missed is our colleague from Maryland, Helen Bentley.\n  Helen will have spent a decade in this chamber when she casts her\nfinal vote this year. She will leave behind her a distinguished career,\nhighlighted by her efforts as a member of the House Committee on\nMerchant Marine and Fisheries and the House Appropriations Committee.\nHer knowledge of maritime issues paid big dividends for her\nconstituents in the port city of Baltimore.\n  She will always be remembered as a fighter. Once she decided a cause\nwas just, she dug in and did battle with the best of her colleagues--\nand more times than not she was the victor.\n  She was internationally known as one of this nation's leading experts\non the maritime industry when she arrived in the House of\nRepresentatives. Her knowledge in the field led to her appointment as\nChairman of the Federal Maritime Commission by President Richard Nixon.\nIn the House, she earned a fine reputation not only on maritime issues,\nbut also on fair trade practices and a strong national defense.\n  This daughter of Serbian immigrant parents began her collegiate\nstudies in her native state at the University of Nevada at Reno * * *\ncontinued it at night here in Washington at George Washington\nUniversity * * * and completed her studies for a degree in journalism\nat the University of Missouri, graduating the same day her mother\nbecame a citizen of the United States almost 1,000 miles away in Ely,\nNevada. Her determination to gain an education was often reflected in\nlater years in her determination to fight for a just cause and to fight\nfor her Maryland constituents.\n  The congressional contributions and the friendship of Helen Bentley\nwill long be remembered.\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-PgE40"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 14.776675961911678, "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"}
