                        TRIBUTE TO ROBERT WAGNER

                                 ______


                        HON. CARLOS J. MOORHEAD

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 27, 1995
  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute Mr. Robert Wagner, 
an outstanding resident of my congressional district. I have been 
privileged to become acquainted with Mr. Wagner over the years through 
his many community activities and through his strong interest in public 
policy.
  A veteran of World War II, Mr. Wagner served honorably from 1940 
until 1945. After graduating from Georgetown University's School of 
Foreign Service in 1948, he launched a successful business career in 
south Pasadena. Mr. Wagner's loyalty to his alma mater continued, 
however, and he was honored by Georgetown for his many consistent years 
of alumni service.
  Mr. Wagner has demonstrated tireless service on behalf of senior 
citizens and is, in fact, my appointee to the 1995 White House 
Conference on Aging. He has been a senior senator in the California 
Senior Legislature since 1988. This work earned him a Distinguished 
Public Service Proclamation from the mayor of South Pasadena. Mr. 
Wagner is retiring from the Senior Legislature this year where I am 
sure he will be missed.
  In addition, he has somehow found time to contribute his energies to 
various civic and humanitarian organizations in and around South 
Pasadena. These efforts have not gone without notice. Mr. Wagner has 
been the recipient of the YMCA Service to Youth, award, the Rotary Club 
Merit Award, a Certificate of Appreciation from the University of 
Southern California, and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors 
Award for distinguished public service.
  Robert Wagner offers proof that one dedicated citizen can make a 
positive impact on the community in which he or she lives. I am glad to 
take a moment to publicly recognize his many years of volunteer service 
and devotion to those around him. We certainly wish Robert, his wife 
Bernice, and their three children the best.
