“I want to rise as well and express my admiration and respect for the gentlewoman from Nevada [Mrs. Vucanovich], the chairman of this subcommittee. She has done an outstanding job both as a member of the Subcommittee on Military Construction of the Committee on Appropriations, and as chairman of that subcommittee. Her leaving the House will be a loss not only to the House, but to the men and women of the Armed Services for whom she has done a great deal in terms of quality of life and in terms of assuring ourselves that from a military infrastructure standpoint we have facilities that are adequate not only to protect the quality of life for our men and women in the Armed Services, but also to protect our readiness. I wanted to rise, Mr. Speaker, and pay tribute to her. She has been a credit to this institution and a credit to her State and a credit to our country.”
