                        RETIREMENT OF JOAN RECK

                                 ______


                          HON. JOHN P. MURTHA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 2, 1995
  Mr. MURTHA. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to note the 
retirement of John Reck, the chairman of the United Steelworkers 
Association's Pennsylvania legislative committee.
  John has spent 43 years with the USWA in Pennsylvania, serving in 
virtually every elective and appointive office in the organization. He 
has served as a member of various boards and commissions in the 
Commonwealth, and has been instrumental in negotiating labor agreements 
for the USWA in Pennsylvania.
  I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate John and wish 
him well in his retirement. The USWA loses an important figure with his 
retirement, but John Reck has made the USWA in Pennsylvania a stronger 
and more effective organization through his work. His legacy will 
continue to influence the USWA in Pennsylvania, and his efforts on 
behalf of steelworkers will be long remembered.
