The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Virginia? There was no objection. The resolutions referred to are as follows: Whereas the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries finds its personnel reduced by the loss of one of its most diligent and faithful members and notes with sorrow the presence of a vacant chair to which its former occupant will not return: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, First, that this committee recognizes in the death of Hon. CHARLES J. COLDEN, Representative from the Seventeenth District of California and a member of this committee, the loss of a devoted public servant, a faithful Representative, a loyal American, a sterling patriot, and a loving friend whose record in Congress was marked by industry, ability, fidelity, and zeal, and whose sound judgment and signal ability were of inestimable benefit to this committee in all of its deliberations; Second, that this committee will ever cherish the memory of its association with Mr. COLDEN and will find in the patience, intelligence, and zeal with which he served an example and inspiration; Third, that this committee extends to the district which Mr. COLDEN served and to the family which survives him its deepest sympathy in their sorrow; and Fourth, that these resolutions shall be spread upon the records of this committee, that a request be made to have this resolution made a part of the Congressional Record, and that a copy shall be sent to the family of the deceased.
