  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize the 
contributions and work of Jerrel D. Smith of St. Louis, MO, on the 
occasion of his retirement.
   [[Page E359]] Jerrel Smith, vice president--Environmental, Safety, 
and Health for the Union Electric Co. of St. Louis, MO, retired on 
January 31. 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.
  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.
