                              BILL MOFFITT

  Mr. KEMPTHORNE. Mr. President, in Idaho, we have a deep respect for 
individuals who give something back to their community. For the past 5 
years, Bill Moffitt has been an active member of the Idaho Falls 
community and a solid contributor to a number of causes within the 
area.
  While serving as president of Westinghouse Idaho Nuclear Co. [WINCO], 
Bill Moffitt has established himself as a true friend to the people of 
Idaho Falls. Most folks would use just a few words to describe Bill; a 
good citizen, dedicated to public service.
  Bill always seems to be looking for a way to help out, either as an 
individual, or through his work. He currently serves as president of 
the Grant Teton Council of the Boy Scouts of America, as deputy 
campaign chairman for the United Way, and as vice president of the 
Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce.
  Bill also served as president of the Excellence in Education Fund and 
is on the board of the local economic development council. He has been 
a supporter of Junior Achievement and Westinghouse Programs designed to 
encourage economically disadvantaged youth to remain in school.
  For his efforts and devotion to the community, the Idaho Falls 
Civitans Club named Bill Moffitt its 1992-93 Citizen of the Year.
  In the corporate world, Bill is seen as a true leader. His ability to 
lead is centered on the fact that he demonstrates a genuine belief in 
his employees. As the president of WINCO, Bill has continued a 
tradition of a friendly and strong work ethic that permeates throughout 
the company.
  Bill began his career in the nuclear industry while serving in the 
U.S. Navy's nuclear submarine program. He joined Westinghouse in 1971 
at Hanford, WA. While there, he was responsible for the Fast Flux Test 
Facility and later managed Operations Support Services. He first came 
to Idaho as WINCO's production manager before moving on to becoming 
general manager of the Waste Isolation Division in Carlsbad, NM. He 
returned to WINCO as president in 1989.
  With the consolidation of the Department of Energy contract at the 
Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Bill now moves back to Hanford 
where he will become the executive vice president of Westinghouse 
Hanford.
  Mr. President, this senator and the people of Idaho Falls are losing 
a good friend, a good neighbor, and a good citizen, and I wish Bill and 
his wife Jeanne all the best in their new endeavor.
