                                 ______


                        HON. RICHARD A. GEPHARDT

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 14, 1995
  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
contributions and work of Jerrel D. Smith of St. Louis, MO.
  Jerrel Smith, vice president, environmental, safety, and health for 
the Union Electric Co. of St. Louis, MO, retired on January 31, 1995. 
He will assume a new role as environmental policy consultant to the 
senior management of the Union Electric Co.
  In his 37 years of service to Union Electric Co., Mr. Smith has 
played an active role in assisting Federal, State, and local 
legislative and regulatory entities in establishing environmental 
protection. During his career, he has participated in the formation and 
implementation of many environmental laws. Of particular note was his 
work with us on the Clean Air Act, which will help us achieve 
reductions in air pollution in a way that achieves tough new standards 
in a cost-effective manner. This work will save ratepayers in eastern 
Missouri many millions of dollars.
  [[Page E341]] The 104th Congress acknowledges the many achievements 
of Jerrel Smith. We thank him for his continuing contributions to the 
development of effective national policies--and wish him best of luck 
in his new endeavors.
