Rec. E2169 | Congressional Record, Volume 150 Issue 138 (Tuesday, December 7, 2004) [Congressional Record Volume 150, Number 138 (Tuesday, December 7, 2004)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E2169] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] HONORING CONGRESSMAN AMO HOUGHTON AND CONGRESSMAN JACK QUINN ______ speech of HON. VITO FOSSELLA of new york in the house of representatives Friday, November 19, 2004 Mr. FOSSELLA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to one of my distinguished colleagues from the State of New York, Congressman Jack Quinn. In his six terms as Representative of the 27th District of New York, Congressman Quinn brought a strong and well respected voice to the United States Congress. His good nature and approachability made him a pleasure to work with, for both sides of the aisle. As Chairman of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Railroads, Mr. Quinn fought to preserve Amtrak as part of our Nation's infrastructure and worked tirelessly towards ensuring the safety of our railroads. He has used his seat on the Committee on Veterans to bring about needed reforms for our veterans and to raise awareness and appreciation of our Nation's heroes and their sacrifices. His role as Chairman of the House Republican Working Group on Labor provided an important link to keep the lines of communication open between labor leaders and the Republican party. Beyond his legislative accomplishments, Congressman Quinn made service to his constituents the cornerstone of his office, and it is this service that will be his legacy. On behalf of the residents of New York, I would like to thank Mr. Quinn for his exceptional service to the United States Congress. His presence, both in the House and within the New York delegation will be greatly missed. Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating Mr. Quinn on 12 remarkable years of service, and in wishing him and his family all the best in the years to come. ____________________ |
