SAM HALL is a highly respected legislator and has served with distinction on the Veterans Affairs and Judiciary Committees. and the Select Committee on Narcotics Abuse and Control. SAM came here in 1976 after winning a special election following the death of Congressman Wright Patman. His work in the area of judiciary and fiscal policy have won him welldeserved praises and recognition. In 1978. SAM and I traveled to North Vietnam as part of an eightmember delegation. His guidence and leadership were so instrumental in making that trip a success. that in 1981 he was asked to travel again to Asia to investigate the refugee problem. I will miss SAM very much. He has been a true friend and a valued colleague.
