 TRIBUTE TO ORVILLE T. MAGOON, THANKING HIM FOR YEARS OF SERVICE IN THE 
                PROTECTION OF THE COASTS OF THIS COUNTRY

                                 ______


                            HON. JIM SAXTON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 4, 1994

  Mr. SAXTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and pay tribute 
to Orville T. Magoon, who will be stepping down from his presidency of 
the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association after 8 years of 
service.
  Mr. Magoon has received prestigious awards for his work in the 
coastal world, including the William Wisely Award, the Moffatt & Nichol 
Award, the Willington Prize, the Decoration for Meritorious Civilian 
Service Award, election to the Gallery of Distinguished Civilian 
Employee, the Benchmark Award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration, and many others.
  Mr. Magoon retired after 30 years in Government service in the field 
of coastal planning, design, construction and rehabilitation of coastal 
structures, and become president of the American Shore and Beach 
Preservation Association. He later became the president of the 
International Coastal Zone Foundation, where he produced eight 
conferences, bringing together up to 2,000 coastal professionals from 
22 countries at one time to discuss and promote solutions to problems 
of coastal erosion.
  Mr. Magoon has dedicated his career to the protection, preservation, 
and restoration of the Nation's economically important coastal zone. He 
will be sorely missed by his colleagues for his accomplishments in this 
field.
