                       MANAGEMENT WEEK IN AMERICA

                                 ______


                          HON. ELTON GALLEGLY

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 18, 1994

  Mr. GALLEGLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the men and 
women who play a critical but sometimes underappreciated role in 
keeping America in business--the Nation's managers.
  This year marks the 16th observance of Management Week in America. 
Sponsored by the National Management Association, the week of June 5-11 
has been set aside to recognize management as a valued profession and 
to promote our American competitive enterprise system.
  Since it's inception in 1978 by the National Management Association, 
Management Week in America has grown each year in size and scope, and 
deservedly so. For just as we need people with vision to develop the 
ideas that keep America moving forward and people with the skills to 
produce the goods and services that result from those ideas, so too do 
we need the people to ensure that those ideas are carried out.
  The National Management Association, with more than 60,000 members in 
200 chapters covering the spectrum of American business, industry and 
the public sector, helps those managers improve their skills and 
abilities, and contributes to improving our productivity and our 
economy. Founded in 1925 in Dayton, OH, the association is a nonprofit, 
nonpolitical educational society committed to fostering the development 
of individuals as managers through personal effort, motivation, and 
participation.
  I would like to pay special recognition today to the association's 
Rockwell Valley Chapter, which has more than 1,100 members located at 
Rockwell facilities in Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Santa Susana, Westlake 
Village, and Thousand Oaks.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in commemorating 
Management Week in America, and in supporting policies to make our free 
enterprise system stronger and even more capable of meeting the 
economic challenges of the years ahead.
