                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 30, 1994

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute a dedicated labor 
leader, James Hill, on the occasion of his retirement as financial 
secretary/treasurer of Sheet Metal Workers International Association 
Local 104.
  James Hill has served California and the labor community since his 
apprenticeship with Sheet Metal Workers Local 75 in 1958. Starting in 
1974, he has worked as an executive board member of Sheet Metal Workers 
Local 309, including a term as its president in 1976. He has also been 
appointed to the mechanical review board and the health services agency 
for Santa Clara County. In addition, James Hill is a delegate to the 
Santa Clara and San Benito Counties Building Trades Council, and has 
served as a member of the San Jose Joint Apprenticeship Committee since 
1968.
  His commitment to workers in the bay area is unsurpassed, and has 
been recognized for his advocacy work with numerous awards from the 
Department of Apprenticeship Standards.
  Mr. Speaker, James Hill has gained the utmost respect and regard of 
those with whom he has both worked with and served. I ask my colleagues 
to join me in honoring this special man for his countless contributions 
to our community.
