On the recordApril 12, 1994
I come to the well today to pay my respects to our recently departed colleague, William Natcher of Kentucky. Throughout his long and distinguished career, he was an example of public service at its best. In over 40 years of service, he never missed a vote until his final illness. As a powerful appropriations cardinal, he abhorred pork barrel earmarks, he attempted to restrict funding to only those programs and projects which were duly authorized, and he consistently brought his legislation to the House floor under an open rule allowing for free and fair debate. He served his State and his Nation with distinction. His memory will live on as an example to us all.
