                       Wednesday, March 16, 1994

  Mr. BAKER of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Robert Leslie Whitt for his life-long dedication and service to the 
county of Alexandria, LA. The city of Alexandria sets aside March 19 of 
this year as a day to honor Mr. Whitt for his 20 years of service as 
director of the Alexandria Zoo.
  Mr. Whitt has been credited with establishing the Alexandria Zoo as 
one of 300 nationally accredited zoos in the country. Currently, he 
serves as the first and only director of the Alexandria Zoo, and has 
recently been recognized as one of 12 outstanding civil service workers 
in the State of Louisiana. He is the first Alexandria resident to 
receive this honor.
  I commend Mr. Whitt for a job well done, and I sincerely admire his 
faithfulness and dedication to the Alexandria community and the State 
of Louisiana.
