                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 13, 1994

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to recognize Mr. 
Wayne Muri, chief engineer of the Missouri Highway and Transportation 
Department. Mr. Muri retires on July 1 after a 38-year career, and I 
would like to express my appreciation to him for his dedicated service 
to the State of Missouri.
  Wayne Muri is a native Missourian. He was born in Jamestown and 
attended the University of Missouri-Columbia. Beginning in 1956, he has 
worked for the Missouri Highway and Transportation Department in 17 
different posts.
  A professional engineer, Mr. Muri became the department's chief 
engineer in 1986. Since that time, Mr. Muri has served as head of the 
State agency responsible for constructing and maintaining Missouri's 
32,000-mile highway system, which is the Nation's sixth largest.
  In addition to his fine work in Missouri, Mr. Muri is recognized as a 
national leader in his field. He is past chairman of the Transportation 
Research Board at the national level. He is also immediate past 
president of the American Association of State Highway and 
Transportation Officials, which involves all the State transportation 
departments.
  I have had the privilege of working with Wayne through the years and 
I wish him all the best as he begins his retirement.
