  HONORING COMMAND SGT. MAJ. JACK WALTERS ON HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE 
                       MISSISSIPPI NATIONAL GUARD

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Mississippi is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. MONTGOMERY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Command Sgt. 
Maj. Wilbur Jack Walters, who will retire from the Mississippi National 
Guard this month.
  When he leaves headquarters and Headquarters Company, 298th 
Maintenance Battalion in Philadelphia on September 28, 1994, Jack will 
have completed one of the longest and most distinguished careers in the 
history of the Mississippi National Guard. His service has spanned 42 
years and 9 months.
  During that career, Jack was awarded the Army Commendation Medal on 
four separate occasions, the Mississippi Magnoia Medal on twice and the 
Meritorious Service Medal twice. He was also honored by the National 
Guard Bureau in Washington for Meritorious Service earned during 8 
months of active duty with the Bureau.
  I know firsthand about Jack Walters' abilities and his devotion to 
duty, having served with him in the Mississippi National Guard. His 
vast knowledge and experience will be greatly missed, but Jack has 
earned his retirement and I salute him for a job very well done.
