                          AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL

                                 ______


                            HON. TIM ROEMER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 26, 1994

  Mr. ROEMER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay special tribute to a 
familiar Washington figure on the occasion of his retirement. Norval E. 
Carey has been with the General Atomics Corp. in the Washington office 
since 1964, and has been promoted to Washington office manager, vice 
president and finally, in 1987, senior vice president.
  In 1976, Mr. Carey helped to form the American Nuclear Energy Council 
and was the secretary and treasurer for several years. His many 
activities include memberships in the American Nuclear Society, the 
American Defense Preparedness Association, the National Security 
Industrial Association, the Air Force Association, the U.S. Army 
Association, and the Navy League.
  Better known as ``Norv'' to his friends and colleagues, this 
gentleman has made his mark on the Nation's Capital in working for 
positive solutions to national problems. The centerpiece to his mission 
is in the creation of peaceful uses for nuclear power sources. What has 
made his mark indelible is his approach to his work.
  Mr. Carey is thoroughly versed in the issues of the day, and presents 
his work with style, flair, and energy. He adds a touch of class to the 
business end of government, and is known across Capitol Hill for his 
luminous wit. He is truly an ``American original.''
  Mr. Speaker, it is as much for these personal qualities as for his 
quality work that we will miss him. But we know that our friend will 
still be active around town, and hopefully we won't have to miss him 
much.
  It is a pleasure to wish Norv well, and to share the pride of his 
wife Claire, their 5 children, 14 grandchildren, and their great-
grandchild. We wish him well.
