                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. MYERS of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise 
today to honor the 100th anniversary of the National Association of 
Letter Carriers' Local 479 in Terre Haute, IN.
  The centennial marks a milestone in the history of these dedicated 
workers. For one century, local 479 has strived to improve the lives of 
letter carriers, and its commitment, discipline and excellence are 
clear in the pride with which Indiana letter carriers perform their 
daily duties.
  Local 479 was chartered by the national association on March 19, 
1894, and currently has 153 active and retired letter carriers from 
Terre Haute and Clinton, IN. Under the leadership if its new president, 
William E. Weese, local 479 continues to expand its membership and 
influence throughout Indiana.
  Local 479 will host the 94th Indiana State convention for letter 
carriers on April 28-30 in Terre Haute. More than 300 letter carriers 
and auxiliary members for branches statewide will attend the 
convention. I am proud to join these workers to help celebrate their 
century-long record of accomplishment.
