Para. 35.34  honorable thomas p. ``tip'' o'neill year

  Mr. ROSE moved to suspend the rules and agree to the following 
resolution (H. Res. 329); as amended:

       Whereas the death of the late Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives, Thomas P. ``Tip'' O'Neill, Jr., on January 
     5, 1994, has created not only a personal loss to his many 
     friends and colleagues, but also a great loss to the Nation;
       Whereas Speaker O'Neill, is remembered by all for his 
     dedication to good government and his love for the people of 
     the United States;
       Whereas Speaker O'Neill's compassion and goodness of heart 
     and his spirit of cooperation and conciliation were evident 
     to all who knew him;
       Whereas in the House of Representatives and in his life, 
     Speaker O'Neill's personal charm and political skill 
     transcended differences of personality and party;
       Whereas Speaker O'Neill presided over the House of 
     Representatives from the Ninety-fifth Congress through the 
     Ninety-ninth Congress and emerged as one of the greatest 
     American political leader of this century; and
       Whereas it is appropriate that the House of Representatives 
     rededicate itself to the principles of leadership personified 
     by Speaker O'Neill: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That 1994 is designated as a year to honor the 
     memory and leadership qualities of the Honorable Thomas P. 
     ``Tip'' O'Neill, Jr., the late Speaker of the House of 
     Representatives.
       Sec. 2. The Committee on House Administration of the House 
     of Representatives shall have authority to prescribe 
     regulations to carry out this resolution.
