                        TRIBUTE TO JO ANN MURPHY

                                 ______


                             HON. BOB CARR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 1994

  Mr. CARR. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate this opportunity to pay tribute 
today to Jo Ann Murphy, of Green Oak Township, MI, who celebrated her 
retirement from the Ford Motor Co. on February 25, 1994.
  Jo Ann has retired after 25 years of dedicated service to Ford, 
contributing her energies and talents to her work in the magnetic gauge 
room at the Ford plant in Saline, MI. It is thanks to the efforts of 
dedicated people like Jo Ann that her employer can speak of quality No. 
1.
  Jo Ann is also a long time and active member of the UAW Local Union 
892, demonstrating time and time again an unparalleled commitment to 
the advocacy of workers' rights. Her leadership in the union, like her 
presence in the workplace, will be sorely missed.
  Having known Jo Ann well for many years, I can say with confidence 
that her contributions to her community will only grow in her 
retirement. Her three great loves are her husband, her garden, and 
local and State politics. Ford's loss is their gain.
  Mr. Speaker, it is fitting that the House of Representatives honor 
outstanding individuals like Jo Ann Murphy. Please join me in 
recognizing her many years of contribution to her community, and in 
wishing her continued success in her retirement.
