  1. I am especially pleased to join with my colleagues in honoring our long-time fellow member and comrade-in-arms, Joe McDade. It was with genuine regret that we heard Joe had decided to call a halt to his long and distinguished career in this legislative body. His leadership in hundreds of floor debates over these thirty-five years has left its mark on a great deal of the legislation that has passed into law. His work in the Appropriations Committee over that time has won him the admiration and gratitude of both Republicans and Democrats, and members on both sides of the aisle have often found themselves indebted to Joe McDade's highly effective legislative skills. A great many of us in this body have found him to be receptive to our needs and hardworking and dedicated in his efforts to see that important bills were successfully legislated. He has clearly served the constituents of the 10th Congressional District of Pennsylvania with particular distinction, and in their gratitude for his leadership, they have returned him to the House time and again for a truly remarkable three and a half decades. In all of his dealings with his colleagues, Joe's genial manner and Irish good humor has won him the warm friendship of members in both parties. May he be rewarded in his retirement with further challenging interests, insights and projects.2 sources1998govinfo.gov
