Wayne Levere Hays (May 13, 1911, Bannock, Ohio – February 10, 1989, Wheeling, West Virginia) was an American politician whose strong rule of the House Administration Committee extended to even the smallest items.  In the mid-1970s, lawmakers avoided crossing Hays for fear that he would shut off the air conditioning in their offices.  He resigned from Congress after a much-publicized sex scandal in 1976.  He resided in St. Clairsville, Ohio at the time of his death.
While his colleagues might have argued over whether he, as chairman of the House Administrative Committee and the Democratic Campaign Committee, was the second or third most powerful member of Congress, few disagreed that he stood in a class by himself as the meanest man in the House.

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BROWSING!!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL...
He Leadeth Me
In pastures green?
Not always; sometimes He
who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me
In many ways where heavy shadows be.
Out of the sunshine warm and soft and bright...
Out of the sunshine into the darkest night,
I oft would faint with sorrow and affright,
Only for this...I know He holds my hand;
so whether in the green or desert land
I trust although I may not understand.
And by still waters?
No, not always so;
Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow,
And o'er my soul the waters and billows go.
But when the storms beat loudest and I cry
aloud for help, the Master standeth by
And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I."
Above the tempest wild I hear Him say,
Beyond this darkness lies a perfect day.
In every path of thine I lead the way.
So whether on the hilltops high and fair
I dwell, or in the sunless valleys where
The shadows lie...what matters?  He is there.
And more than this, where'er the pathway lead
He gives to me no helpless broken reed,
But His own hand, sufficient for my need.
So where He leads me, I can safely go,
And in the blest hereafter I shall know
Why in His wisdom, He hath led me so.
