On the recordMay 4, 1999
I am pleased to once again voice support for this measure honoring Jake Pickle. Jake was a friend of most of us here in the Congress, I virtually would say all of us in the Congress, when he served over 30 years in great public service to our Nation. I knew Jake as an expert on Social Security. I knew Jake as a traveler when we went overseas together and his good wife Beryl traveled with us. Jake is someone we have long missed in the Congress. He had a good word for all of us, and I think it is highly appropriate that this building be named for a deserving public servant.
