OF
HON. TOM V. MOOREHEAD
OF OHIO
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Saturday, October 6, 1962
Mr. MOOREHEAD of Ohio. Mr.
Speaker, I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to pause and pay tribute to a
distinguished Member of this body who
will be retiring in January-after a long
and outstanding record of public serv-
ice, BRENT SPENCE, Of Kentucky, has
served his district, his State, and the Na-
tion faithfully for 32 years.
It has been a privilege for me to be
associated with him in his capacity as
chairman of the House committee on
Banking and Currency. As a freshman
Member of the House of Representatives,
it has been most gratifying for me to
serve under a chairman widely recog-
nized for his cooperative bipartisan ap-
proach to the problems we have had to
face in the committee.
As he leaves the House, I would like to
join my colleagues in congratulating him
for his fine record as a Member of the
House of Representatives, and wishing
him every future happiness.

OF
HON. WILLIAM A. BARRETT
OF PENNSYLVANIA
'IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Saturday, October 6, 1962
Mr. BARRETT. Mr. Speaker, it is an
honor and privilege for me to join with
my colleagues of the House of Represent-
atives in paying tribute to a great Ameri-
cana kindly man-a courageous man.
I speak of my chairman, the gentleman
from Kentucky, BRENT SPENCE.
All of us who have served on the great
Committee on Banking and Currency
with this brilliant statesman know of
his unequaled contribution as a legis-
lator; of his great service to his country
and to his constituents.
It was indeed a great pleasure to have
had the opportunity to serve with the
gentleman from Kentucky [Mr. SPENCE].
I sincerely wish for him a long con-
tinued happy and good life.

SPEECH
OF
HON. JAMES HARVEY
OF MICHIGAN
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Saturday, October 6, 1962
Mr. HARVEY of Michigan. Mr.
Speaker, I want to take this opportunity
to join with many others in the House
of Representatives in paying tribute to
my friend and colleague, the Honorable
BRENT SPENCE. It has been a keen source
of pleasure to have served with Chair-
man SPENCE on the House Committee on
Banking and Currency during the 87th
Congress. As a freshman Member of
Congress, I am only sorry that my asso-
ciation with him has been much too brief.
However, in this short period of time, I
have plainly seen a true exhibition of de-
votion and dedication to strong personal
principles and ideals. He so richly de-
serves the heartfelt thanks of everyone
for his untiring public service, and we
will certainly miss his presence here in
Congress. It is my sincerest wish that
his retirement will bring many years of
good health, good fortune, and happiness.

Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, will the
gentleman yield?
Mr. FULTON; I yield to the gentle-
man from Florida.
Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I have
asked the gentleman from Pennsylvania
to yield so that I may read the rest of

tleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. FULTON]
has expired.
