                     HON. DOUGLAS ``PETE'' PETERSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 3, 1994

  Mr. PETERSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate 
Tyndall Air Force Base for its accomplishments in preserving our 
country's environment. On April 22, 1994, Tyndall received the Gen. 
Thomas D. White Environmental Quality Award for the best environmental 
program in the U.S. Air Force. Through the demanding efforts of 
Brigadier General Horne, Col. William H. Grigsby, Lt. Col. Jeffry 
Thomas, Traci Schell, Capt. John Davis, Robert Elliot, M. Sgt. Chuck 
Dewar, and the rest of the Tyndall team, this base represents a model 
which all military bases should emulate.
  Tyndall has shown its capability of tackling any assignment with 
great proficiency, whether it be combat readiness or securing a safe, 
clean environment. I commend Tyndall's professionalism both 
environmentally as well as in its main task at hand--to ensure the 
national security of America and its citizens. As we move into the 21st 
century, I am confident that Tyndall Air Force Base will continue to 
demonstrate its expertise in the field of environmental excellence.
