                      TRIBUTE TO ERNEST J. GERMAN

  Mr. HARKIN. Madam President, I rise today in order to recognize the 
outstanding career of Mr. Ernest J. German of Virginia. On September 
29, 1994, Mr. German retired after a long and distinguished career with 
the Federal Government, including over 30 years with the Department of 
Labor.
  Mr. German began his Federal service in 1962 as a budget analyst for 
the Department's Office of Budget Administration. After a brief stint 
in a similar position at the Department of Health, Education, and 
Welfare, he returned to the Department of Labor in 1967. With the 
Manpower Administration from 1968 through 1972, he participated in the 
development and implementation of pre-CETA program decentralization 
activities. He was a Civil Service/American Political Science 
Association Congressional Fellow in 1973.
  In 1974 he joined the Labor-Management Services Administration to 
direct its first planning and evaluation staff, later becoming Director 
of its Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Systems and its Office of 
Management.
  In 1984, he joined the Office of Inspector General. As assistant 
inspector general for Resource Management and Legislative Assessment, 
Mr. German served as administrative and legislative officer. In this 
capacity, Mr. German worked closely and effectively with the Senate 
Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor. Mr. German will be sorely missed 
by his colleagues at the Department of Labor for his dedication and 
hard work.
  On behalf of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, I would 
like to thank Mr. German for his many years of public service and wish 
him and his family the best in the years ahead.
