“As dean of the Ohio delegation, I am greatly saddened to inform the Members that our former colleague, Ralph Regula, who was the dean of the Ohio delegation, has passed away. Ralph was 92 years of age. He had the honor of serving his constituents back home in Ohio for 36 years. He was a key player on the Appropriations Committee for many years. He will be truly missed. I wanted to inform the Members that Congressman Bob Gibbs--Ralph was a constituent of Congressman Gibbs--will be organizing a Special Order next week. So Members who are interested, on either side of the aisle, in participating in that should contact Representative Gibbs' office. ____________________”
