                            HON. SAM JOHNSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, August 17, 1994

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
commend the accomplishments of an exceptional individual who has worked 
for the strengthening of our national security and aerospace industry 
for 44 years.
  On August 25, 1994, Mr. Gene Keiffer will retire as chairman of the 
board of E-Systems. E-Systems is headquartered in Dallas, TX and is 
vital to the national intelligence community in protecting our country.
  He joined E-Systems as an antenna and microwave design engineer and 
was subsequently promoted to the vice president, general manager of the 
Garland Division located in the Third Congressional District. His 
managerial skills were further recognized in 1989 when he was elected 
to the position of chairman and chief executive officer. The selfless 
character and innovative skills that he has brought to the management 
of highly classified programs have made our country a safer and more 
democratic nation.
  His service is exemplified in his support and participation in the 
Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers, American Defense 
Preparedness, the Association of the U.S. Army and the Space Advisory 
Board at Texas A&M University.
  Keiffer is a graduate of Southern Methodist University with a degree 
in Electric Engineering where he went on to receive his Master's degree 
in the same discipline. In 1989 he was the recipient of the SMU 
Distinguished Alumni Award.
  Fortunately, he and his wife Carole, who has been very supportive 
during his quality years of service to our country and industry, will 
continue to reside in the third district. I thank him for his 
dedication and commend him on a lifetime of invaluable service to 
America.
