                                 ______


                        HON. GERALD B.H. SOLOMON

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 15, 1994

  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, I have the great pleasure of honoring 
Master Chief Electronic Technician Submarine Warfare George H. Gasser 
on the occasion of his retirement from the U.S. Naval Reserve after 33 
years of tireless service.
  Master Chief Gasser enlisted in the Navy on October 16, 1961. His 
first submarine assignment was aboard U.S.S. Skate as an interior 
communication technician. He went on to become the honorman of his 
graduating class both at U.S. Submarine School at New London, CT, and 
IC ``A'' School at San Diego, CA.
  He has been generously decorated throughout his years in the Naval 
Reserve. They include: the Navy Commendation Medal and Navy Achievement 
Medal, the Navy Good Conduct Medal, and the National Defense Medal for 
which he has received two awards.
  During his 33 years of service in our Armed Forces George Gasser has 
earned our commendation and deep gratitude for his lifelong service to 
the people of these United States and for his great patriotism.
  But he has also earned our gratitude for his many volunteer 
activities in his community and for his years of services as the 
elected county treasurer of Saratoga County.
  Mr. Speaker, in addition to his outstanding service in the U.S. Navy, 
George Gasser truly is a fine community leader and a man I am proud to 
call my friend. Would you all rise and join me in paying tribute to 
this outstanding American citizen.
