JAMES H. (JIMMY) QUILLEN\n\n                              of tennessee\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                        Friday, October 7, 1994\n\n  Mr. QUILLEN. Mr. Speaker, of all of my colleagues who are leaving the\nHouse at the end of this Congress, I will miss none more than Helen\nBentley, my good friend and distinguished Member of Congress from\nMaryland. Her dedication and patriotism are models that we can all\nstrive to emulate, and her tenacity in the pursuit of what she believes\nto be right is second to none.\n  I first knew of Helen when she chaired the Federal Maritime\nCommission under President Nixon. She gave the Commission strong\nleadership that it had not previously known. I remember vividly when\nHelen took the tanker Manhattan on a voyage through the Northwest\nPassage to prove that the icy waters were passable. Her passionate\ncommitment to revitalizing the American maritime industry was evident\nthen, as it has been evident ever since.\n  Since her arrival in Congress in 1985, Helen Bentley has been a\ndefender of American interests, American jobs, and America's place in\nthe world. Many remember her use of a sledgehammer on a Japanese\ntelevision to protest one company's hostile trading practices, and this\nis indicative of the zeal with which Helen pursues her goals. I have\nworked with her on maritime issues over the years, and she has been of\ninvaluable help in getting things done.\n  Her crusade against NAFTA, although unsuccessful, opened many eyes\nand made a lot of people think. With NAFTA then, just as with GATT now,\nHelen has turned her journalistic eye towards the issues and made us\nrealize what the effect of these mammoth agreements might be on the\nworking men and women of her district--and of others.\n  The House will miss Helen Bentley's presence a great deal, but she\nwill not be far away. I hope to continue to consult with her on\nmaritime issues and other areas of concern, and I know that new\nopportunities will continue to come her way. Helen, please keep in\ntouch, and thanks again for your service and your friendship.\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-PgE41"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 29.092208947986364, "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"}
