LEWIS G. ODOM, JR., STAFF DIRECTOR AND GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE BANKING AND CURRENCY COMMITTEE, RETURNS TO PRIVATE LAW PRACTICE
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, Lewis G. Odom, Jr., recently announced that he is resigning his post as staff director and general Counsel of the Banking and Currency Committee to practice law in Montgomery, Ala.
Lewis Odom has a long record of outstanding service to the Senate. He has served as administrative assistant to the distinguished Senator from Alabama [Mr. SPARKMAN] and, for several years as staff director and general counsel of the Select Committee on Small Business prior to his assumption of duty with the Banking and Currency Committee. During this period of time, his devotion to duty and the excellent manner in. which he performed his job have won him many friends and admirers in the Senate.
I regret very much that the committee is losing his services. I am sure he will be missed.
However, I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to him for his long and outstanding service to the Senate, and I wish for him every success in his future career.
