ON THE DEATH OF DEWEY F. BARTLETT
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, Dewey Bartlett was laid to rest in his home town of Tulsa, Okla., yesterday. I think he would be the first to say we should not mourn his passing too deeply, but rather remember his warmth, his humor and his affection for people.
Those who were in this Chamber last October 14 will remember that Dewey was not defeated, although finally he lost his battle with cancer.
Dewey was an able representative. He brought to this job broad political experience gained as a State legislator and as Governor of his State, and valuable practical experience in the fields of energy and small business.
He used these skills effectively, and the people of Oklahoma enjoyed the benefits of his work.
But beyond that, those of us fortunate enough to have served with Dewey will remember the pleasure of his company. And we will miss him.
