                       TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL HANDLEY

                                 ______


                             HON. BOB CARR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 19, 1994

  Mr. CARR of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Michael Handley, a man who's record of hard work and dedication to his 
family, the state of Michigan, and the Communications Workers of 
America is an inspiration to us all.
  Michael began his union career in the early 1950's working in 
Knoxville, TN. Since then he has served as president of Local 3805, 
president of the Knoxville Area Central Labor Council, assistant vice 
president for CWA District 3, Michigan director of the CWA, and vice 
president of CWA District 4.
  Michael has given to our State through hours of community service. He 
has served on the Michigan State AFL-CIO Executive Board, the Greater 
Detroit Area Hospital Board, the Detroit United Fund, and the Michigan 
Air Pollution Control Board.
  In addition to all the work Michael has done for his union and the 
State of Michigan, Michael is a devoted husband and father of three 
sons. Those of us who are familiar with the contributions he has made 
in his 40 years of service will be sorry to see him retire. His 
leadership will be missed.
  Mr. Speaker, it is entirely fitting that the U.S. House of 
Representatives honor outstanding individuals like Michael Handley. 
Please join me in wishing him and his family continued success and a 
happy retirement.
