                       SUPPORT FOR H.J. RES. 280

                                 ______


                               speech of

                         HON. NORMAN Y. MINETA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 26, 1994

  Mr. MINETA. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of House Joint 
Resolution 280, a resolution appointing Frank Anderson Shrontz as a 
member of the Board of Regents for the Smithsonian Institution for a 6-
year term.
  As the senior Regent in the House of Representatives, I introduced 
this legislation when Mr. Shrontz's nomination was approved by the 
Board of Regents last year.
  Mr. Shrontz is the president and chief executive officer of the 
Boeing Co. From his many roles in business and public affairs for 
Boeing, he has garnered significant experience in the corporate world. 
Mr. Shrontz is certainly considered a leader in the aviation industry.
  In addition, he is involved with a variety of business councils and 
serves on the board of directors for Citicorp, the Boise Cascade Corp., 
and Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing [3M]. Mr. Shrontz is active in a 
number of civic and charitable organizations. He will bring an 
invigorated approach and unique knowledge of corporate America and the 
complexities of the business world to the many issues before the Board 
of Regents.
  I urge you to support his appointment.
