being and a good friend in a Washington atmosphere that too often emphasizes rank and influence rather than personal qualities.

In addition, he was also a very effective legislator and earned a well-deserved reputation for expertise in appropriation measures which he approached with objectivity which few achieve.

Mrs. Derwinski joins me in extending our deepest sympathy to GLEN's wife, Virginia, and all members of the Lipscomb family.

Mr. VAN DEERLIN. Mr. Speaker, GLEN LIPSCOMB's hold on the electorate of his district stamped him as "a Congressman's Congressman." He was a Republican in a well-to-do, clearly Republican portion of Los Angeles County-a fact usually reflected in his voting record. But, economic and social views aside, GLEN's manner of conducting his office could serve as a model for any of us. It was small wonder that he never encountered serious opposition at election time.

GLEN was short on speechmaking, long on the tedious, grinding work required of a conscientious member of the Appropriations Committee. A Los Angeles Times editorial marking his death, which appeared this morning, noted GLEN's attention to detail-an attribute acquired through training as an accountant. The Times concluded that the House of Representatives can ill afford the loss of even one Member so able and dedicated as he.

A longtime friend of mine who lives in the 24th Congressional District strongly supported a candidate in opposition to the Congressman 2 years ago. GLEN was well aware of this man's participation in the campaign to unseat him. But when my friend visited the Lipscomb office some time later, he was greeted as warmly as if he had been on the Congressman's own committee.

Because I represent an area with extensive military installations, I should also note our departed colleague's great assistance in the field of defense appropriations. He held a realistic view of the so-called military-industrial complex. He insisted, insofar as possible, on a dollar's value for a dollar spent—but he would not let the military become a whipping boy for indiscriminate budget cutting. A congressional vacancy will, of course, be filled, Mr. Speaker. But GLEN LIPSCOMB will not soon be replaced.

Mr. PIRNIE. Mr. Speaker, in the passing of our distinguished colleague, GLEN LIPSCOMB, of the 24th District of California, this

House has sustained a great loss. Serving in his ninth term, this fine man was handling heavy responsibilities in the area of defense appropriations with keen judgment and great skill. Although gentle and gracious in his manner, he was courageous and effective. He wished to be fair but he was determined in his goals.

His loyalty, ability and decency made him an influential legislator. He won and held the confidence and respect of his constitutents and his colleagues, setting a standard of service that will be long remembered. His beloved wife and family have our sincere sympathy in this sad hour.

Mr. BURKE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am indeed saddened, as I know we all are, to learn of the death of our very good personal friend, the Honorable GLENARD P. LIPSCOMB. It is sad indeed that death came to him so early in life.

Although he was a Republican, I am sure that all of us will attest that he will be missed by all of the Members of the Congress on both sides of the aisle.

I had the privilege of serving with GLEN as a member of the Republican resolutions committee during the Republican National Convention in Miami last year. I learned a great deal about GLEN then. I learned of his ability as a legislator and of his quiet, unassuming manner. I learned of his compassionate nature and of his great loyalty to God and country. There was so much of the good about GLEN LIPSCOMB.

His quiet, but persistent attitude and indepth knowledge of our Nation's defense and security played a key role in setting forth the Republican Party's principles at the convention, just as his efforts had helped for so many years prior to that.

It was natural for GLEN to have a multitude of friends. He was that kind of a man. I first met GLEN LIPSCOMB when I was first elected to the Congress, yet I knew from the beginning that I could always count on his friendship and his professional knowledge as a legislator for sound advice and counsel, especially on complicated matters in the many areas in which he excelled.

It is true that we must all join hands with death some day, but I still was deeply saddened when I read that GLEN LIPSCOMB had passed away. His leadership will be missed by so many of us in the House. I will miss him.

At this time, my wife Evelyn and I wish to extend to his good wife, Virginia, and to his family our deepest sympathy. To them we can honestly say that you lived with greatness because GLENARD LIPSCOMB during his lifetime was a great man.

Mr. ADAIR. Mr. Speaker, I join with all the others who have today commented upon the death of GLENARD P. LIPSCOMB. He was one of the hardest working and most effective Members of the House of Representatives. To find those qualities combined with a pleasant disposition is rare and accounts to a considerable degree for the esteem in which he was held.

His particular talents and abilities fitted him peculiarly for the work which he did in the House, and it will be a long time before anyone can be found to replace him.

We shall miss GLEN very much. Mrs. Adair joins me in expressing our most sincere sympathy to his family in their great loss.

Mr. MICHEL. Mr. Speaker, this is a very, very sad day for me, for I feel a deep sense of personal loss in the passing of our dear friend, GLEN LIPSCOMB.

My thoughts go back to the very first time I saw him, when he was ushered up to the stage at the Uline Arena as the most recently elected Republican Member of this House at a big Lincoln Birthday rally honoring President Eisenhower. With his crew haircut he appeared to be fresh out of college and even on these most recent days, he has always appeared younger than those of us who were 10 or more years his junior. He was always quick to flash that most infectious smile and even when he was very serious and making a telling point either in our committee or on the floor of this House, one felt that within the twinkling of an eye, he would break out with a smile. "LIPPY," as I always called him, was never given to being bombastic, flashy, or dramatic, but rather in his quiet, studious way he got things done.

In the beautiful memorial service this morning, the pastor made mention of GLEN's always being “just himself,” and I would surely have to agree. There was nothing fictitious or unreal about him. He was always very forthright, honest with himself and with everyone else. It was said in this morning's service that one of the verses he displayed on his desk had to do with "The Measure of a Man," and I wish I could repeat it verbatim at this point, for it was such a per

fect portrayal of GLEN himself. We who knew him far beyond our official contact, loved him dearly, for he loved people and I know of no one who ever had any bad word to say about "LIPPY." We are going to miss him sorely on our Committee on Appropriations for his diligence and his capacity for tireless work. We are going to miss him moving quietly but quickly through these halls and corridors and particularly that warm and cordial greeting.

As the pastor said this morning, the end is really the beginning, and for the rich life he lived here on earth, the good Lord will surely have a place for him in Heaven. And those of us he leaves behind will cherish for as long as we live, those wonderful moments we shared with one another.

My wife, Corinne, joins me in extending our profound sympathy to Ginny and the girls.

Mr. HOSMER. Mr. Speaker, America cannot afford to lose men like our colleague and my close firiend, GLEN LIPSCOMB. There just are not enough of them to go around.

Fortunately, during his productive life and career as a Member of the Congress, GLEN LIPSCOMB worked to keep America strong. His accomplishments in and outside of this body in the field of national defense are well recognized by all the Members. And they can be deeply appreciated by all the American people.

He served the people of his 24th District of California, his State, and his Nation with honor and distinction for 16 years. Everyone who knew GLEN, even casually, recognized—as we all do what a remarkable individual he was.

To me personally, he was a trusted friend and beloved colleague. During his prolonged illness, we all hoped and prayed for his recovery so that he could return to the work he loved and the work he did so well. But such was not to be the case.

Mrs. Hosmer and I extend our sincerest sympathies to his lovely wife, Virginia, and his family. Their loss is lightened only by a knowledge that their grief is shared by a remarkably large number of friends and admirers.

While our leaders like GLEN LIPSCOMB all must pass on, we can take comfort in the knowledge that the service they rendered so unselfishly to their country makes it less difficult for we who survive to carry on.

Mr. GROSS. Mr. Speaker, with his many friends in the House of Representatives I have been aware of the long and valiant fight that GLEN LIPSCOMB was making against the scourge of cancer. Nevertheless, I was not prepared for the announcement of his death.

With the gentleman from California (Mr. Smith) I find it difficult to understand why this comparatively young man-in the prime of life and his public career—should be taken from among us. GLEN was one of the finest and most able Members of this body. I know of no Member who did not respect him for his integrity, ability, and dedication to his work. His loss is not only to the House of Representatives but to the district he represented, the State of California, and the Nation.

GLEN LIPSCOMB was my friend and I have suffered a personal, irreparable loss.

Mrs. Gross joins me in extending deepest sympathy to Mrs. Lipscomb and the family.

Mr. CLANCY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join with my colleagues in expressing sorrow over the loss of that sincere, dedicated American, GLENARD P. LIPSCOMв. He was held in high esteem by both his constituents and his colleagues who looked to him with pride. During the time that I had the privilege of serving here with him, I was always impressed by this loyal public servant. He was the champion of the taxpaying public and a foe of Government waste. His accomplishments were many and his life was one of service to his country.

I know, Mr. Speaker, that each one of us here today joins in extending deepest sympathy to his beloved wife and family.

Mr. SMITH of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I want to join the others who have expressed sorrow at the passing of our esteemed late colleague, GLEN LIPSCOMB. I had the privilege of serving on the same subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee with him. He was one of the most dedicated servants of the people who ever served on that committee. It is a very tedious job requiring hours upon hours of close surveillance and analyzation of statistics and testimony. He had both the qualities of dedication to the job and the ability which blended in such a way as to make him an extremely valuable Member.
