CONGRATULATING RAY LOSORNIO, JR., ON 34 YEARS WITH THE U.S. ARMY CORPS 
                              OF ENGINEERS

                                 ______


                           HON. CHET EDWARDS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 9, 1994

  Mr. EDWARDS of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I wish to congratulate Mr. 
Ray Losornio of Fort Worth for 34 years of dedicated service to the 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Mr. Losornio recently ended his 
distinguished career with the Corps. I hope Members will join with me 
today to thank Mr. Losornio for his contributions to the Corps of 
Engineers, his local community and the country.
  Ray Losornio began his career with the Corps of Engineers in 1959 as 
an engineering aid in the Tulsa, OK, district. His time with the Corps 
of Engineers was unbroken except for a stint serving in the U.S. Marine 
Corps from 1962 to 1965. In 1975, he transferred to the Fort Worth 
District and took a position as a civil engineer.
  Over the next 19 years, Ray Losornio, a graduate of Oklahoma State 
University, moved his way up the management ladder. At the time of his 
retirement, Ray Losornio served as an administrative officer in the 
Forth Worth District executive office. During his career, Ray Losornio 
received 14 performance and achievement awards. He was also presented 
the prestigious Superior Civilian Service Award. The justification for 
the award read:

       Mr. Losornio consistently provided outstanding service in 
     the relationship with the public and Congressional Members 
     and their staffs, involving controversial and complex issues.

  That, Members, sums up why Ray Losornio will be missed by the Corps 
of Engineers, members of the Texas congressional delegation and his 
country. I want to wish Ray and his wife Norma every success in the 
future.
