                   TRIBUTE TO THOMAS J. STEWART, JR.

                                 ______


                        HON. BARBARA B. KENNELLY

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 25, 1995
  Mrs. KENNELLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career of 
Thomas J. Stewart, Jr., who is retiring this month after 33 years of 
service with the Social Security Administration.
  Tom began his career with the Social Security Administration in 1961 
and worked in numerous offices in various capacities throughout the 
State of Connecticut. Most recently, he served as liaison for 
Connecticut's congressional delegation.
  It was in that role that I had the opportunity to observe the 
commitment that Mr. Stewart had to the constituency he served. He 
understood how important Social Security was in their lives and he 
endeavored diligently to make sure that they received accurate and 
timely responses to their inquiries. The high standard of service that 
Tom maintained is an example for all of us in public service to 
emulate.
  I am honored to rise in tribute to the years of dedicated service 
rendered by Federal employee Thomas J. Stewart, Jr. His three and one-
half decades of professionalism constitute a legacy that is 
unparalleled. His talents and record of excellence will be greatly 
missed.
