Proceedings in the House The House met at 12 o'clock noon. MONDAY, February 2, 1970. The Chaplain, Rev. Edward G. Latch, D.D., offered the following prayer: Bless ye the Lord, all ye hosts; ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure.-Psalm 103:21. Almighty and Eternal God, at the beginning of International Clergy Week, we pause in Thy presence to pray for the clergymen of our land and our world. Give them grace to walk worthily in the calling to which they have been called, to serve Thee with all humility and patience, to help our fellow men with all sympathy and love, to promote integrity and good will in our Nation with all eagerness and enthusiasm, and to pave the way to peace in our world with all earnestness and sincerity. In all they plan may Thy thoughts guide their thinking, Thy wisdom make wise their minds, Thy love warm their hearts, and Thy purposes purify their lives. Our lives are richer by reason of the ministry of those who minister in Thy name. Accept our gratitude for their presence in our midst. Our Father, another of our colleagues has gone home to be with Thee. Receive him into Thy heavenly glory and bless his family with the comfort of Thy presence and the love of Thy spirit. Strengthen them for this experience and guide them step by step as they face the days ahead. In Thy holy name we pray. Amen. The SPEAKER. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California (Mr. Smith). Mr. SMITH of California. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep sadness in my heart that I announce to the Speaker and to the Members of the House that Congressman GLENARD P. LIPSCOMB, who represents the 24th District of California, died yesterday afternoon of cancer. Mr. Speaker, GLEN and I have been like twin brothers for the past 20 years. I know that GLEN is admired and respected by the Speaker and by every Member of the House of Representatives. On behalf of the Speaker and on behalf of the Members, I extend our deep sympathy to his wife, Virginia, and to their two daughters, and to the other members of their family. Mr. Speaker, in connection with the services, the memorial service for Congressman LIPSCOMB will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday morning at the Fourth Presbyterian Church, 5500 River Road, Bethesda. Funeral services and interment will be at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, Calif., on Wednesday, February 4, at 1 p.m. California time. Transportation will be provided for the Members who will wish to attend the services in California, leaving from the office of the Sergeant at Arms in front of the Capitol at 8:30 a.m. and returning the same evening to Washington. Mr. Speaker, I will ask at a separate time for a special order during which all of us may have the opportunity of extending or paying tribute to and eulogizing Congressman LIPSCOMB. Mr. Speaker. I knew him so well I am sure he would not want us to adjourn today and not carry on with our business. I would not, and I am certain he would not, but a resolution will be offered subsequently today, at an appropriate time, to adjourn out of respect for our late colleague, GLENARD P. LIPSCOMB. SPECIAL ORDER GRANTED Mr. SMITH of California. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday, at the close of business I be permitted to address the House for 1 hour for the purpose of eulogizing our late colleague, Congressman LIPSCOMB. The SPEAKER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. HOLIFIELD. Mr. Speaker, I join with my friend, the gentleman from California, Congressman Smith in his remarks. At the proper time I will speak at some length on the demise of our colleague, and my beloved friend, GLENARD P. LIPSCOMB. He served on my Subcommittee on Military Operations for a number of years. I know of no more dedicated person than was GLENARD LIPSCOMB in his work on that committee. I know his subsequent work on the Appropriations Committee was equally diligent and dedicated. Mr. Speaker, I will speak later, at the proper time designated for all Members on this matter. Mr. Speaker, for those Members who plan to attend the memorial services for our late and beloved colleague, GLENARD LIPSCOMB, I have been asked to announce that buses will leave the steps of the House of Representatives promptly at 9:45 in the morning.
