On the recordMarch 22, 1994
I would like to associate myself with the remarks of the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Jacobs]. I did not know Jed Johnson as a legislator. Few of us who are in the House now did because he served here sometime ago, but his contributions to the House, as the gentleman pointed out, continued far after he left, until his very last days. Madam Speaker, I worked with him very closely during this last year as a chairman of the Congressional Study Group on Germany. He was the driving force in so many interparliamentary exchanges who benefited dramatically the understanding of those legislators with respect to our system and vice versa. His contributions because of his work with young people and legislators of all ages will go on for a long, long time. We are going to miss Jed Johnson. He was an extraordinarily fine human being.
