BILL was appointed in December 1958 as judge of the Cincinnati Municipal Court. where he was later elected to the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas on January 1. 1965 where he served until August 1. 1967. In 1967 BILL took office as a member of the Cincinnati City Council and majority leader and chairman of the Finance Committee where he worked for 3 years. In addition to being a member of the Subcommittee on Immigration. Citizenship. and International Law. he is a member of the Judiciary Crime Subcommittee. He is also a member of the Republican Task Force on Aging. the Task Force on Health Care and the Special Task Force on Election Reform. The contributions of BILL KEATING in numerous legislative areas will indeed be sorely missed. His remarkably leadership was instrumental in securing the House passage of two significant immigration proposalsH.R. 981. which provides for the orderly admission of Western Hemisphere immigrants. and H.R. 982. which helps combat the illegal alien problem. His experience as a municipal court judge gave him keen insight into the practical application of legislation making his skill as a drafter of legislation truly available. I wish BILL well in the exciting challenge which await him.
