                           HON. WALLY HERGER

                      Tuesday, September 27, 1994

  Mr. HERGER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize a constituent of 
mine, Mr. Gerald A. Baker, who retires from Federal service after 
serving the United States faithfully for 35 years. From the beginning 
of his civil service career as an engineering aide, GS-04, to the 
chief, ordinance engineering division, at the Naval Ammunition Depot, 
Hawthorne, NV, to his present position as the civilian executive 
assistant, GS-15, Sierra Army Depot, CA, his extraordinary 
contributions have been invaluable.
  Mr. Baker's strong leadership, exceptional managerial abilities, and 
his commendable personal qualities have positively affected both 
missions and people throughout his career. He has set the example for 
civil servants for more than three decades.
  Mr. Baker's contributions were recognized by many awards during his 
career to include two Meritorious Civilian Service Awards, a 
Commander's Award for Civilian Service, and numerous Exceptional 
Performance Awards. As he ends his career, it is fitting to note the 
influence he had on varied aspects of Government during his years of 
service to the Nation.
