Former Rep. John Dingell during the Mackinac Policy Conference in the Grand Hotel May 2014.
Former U.S.
representative
retired at start of
this year
By SHOHAM GEVA
Daily Staff Reporter
Former Congressman John
Dingell was admitted to the
Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit
Monday and will undergo a
heart procedure, according to a
statement released by his wife’s
office.
In a short statement, Rep.
Debbie Dingell (D-Dearborn)
said her husband was “resting
comfortably under doctor’s care
and is his usual feisty self.”
Dingell also underwent a
heart procedure at the same
hospital last March to correct
abnormal heart rhythms.
The statement also noted
that Rep. Dingell will remain
in Michigan for the week, and
will not travel to Washington.
The
House
is
in
session
Tuesday through Thursday of
this week.
Preceding the official state-
ment from his wife’s office,
Dingell also tweeted the news
earlier in the afternoon.
“Back in the hospital,” the
tweet read. “Being old sucks.”
Dingell, 89, retired from
Congress following the end of
his term this January. He first
took office in 1955, following his
father who previously held the
seat, and is the longest serving
member of the body in history
with 59 years in office.
During his time in the House
Dingell chaired the House and
Commerce
Committee
and
sat on multiple subcommit-
tees within it, including those
for Health, Environment and
Economy, and Oversight and
Investigation.
He was heavily involved in
a slate of landmark legislative
environment
achievements
during his time in office, among
them the Clean Water Act, the
Clean Air Act and the Nation-
al Environmental Policy Act.
Dingell was also an advocate
for health, sponsoring bills to
protect patient rights through
requiring private insurance for
all Americans and increasing
responsibilities for insurers,
as well as contributing to the
Affordable Care Act.
In 2014, Dingell was award-
ed the Presidential Medal of
Freedom by President Barack
Obama, which is the highest
honor a civilian can recieve. He
holds a honorary degree from
the University, awarded at the
2015 spring commencement.
Dingell is also a frequent visi-
tor to the University’s campus,,
teaching class sessions at the
Ford School of Public Policy
during the fall semester. He
has also donated six decades of
papers to the University’s Bent-
ley Historical Library, includ-
ing correspondence bills and
photographs. At the time, the
donation was one of the larg-
est to the library’s historical
archive.

Specimen to
arrive at ‘U’
Farmer donates
woolly mammoth
fossils to Natural
History Museum
By EMMA KINERY
Daily Staff Reporter
A mammoth win for pale-
ontologists occurred Monday
when the farmer who found
woolly mammoth bones on his
property in Washtenaw County
donated the specimen to the
University.
Last week James Bristle was
installing a drainage pipe in his
Chelsea, Mich. soybean field
when he discovered the unusual
bones. What he first mistook as a
fence turned out to be a rib bone.
When Bristle realized the mag-
nitude of his discovery he con-
tacted the University and Dan
Fisher, a professor of paleontol-
ogy and director of the Univer-
sity’s Museum of Paleontology.
The mammoth will be named
the Bristle Mammoth after the
farmer who found it. Fisher said
the discovery is in the top 10 most
significant mammoth discoveries
in Michigan’s recorded history.
University
researchers
believe the mammoth is a hybrid
of a woolly mammoth and a
Columbian
mammoth
which
lived around 11,700 and 15,000
years ago.
Fisher hopes to display the
mammoth at the Museum of
Natural History after they exca-
vate it. With a skull, two tusks,
the pelvis, ribs, vertebrae, its
shoulder blades uncovered, so
far the researchers have 20 per-
cent of a full mammoth skeleton.
