                     IN HONOR OF GIRO ESPOSITO, JR.

                                 ______


                          HON. ROSA L. DeLAURO

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 3, 1995
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, on Friday, May 5, 1995, the Local Union 90 
of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers [IBEW] will pay 
tribute to its business manager, Giro ``Jerry'' Esposito, Jr. in honor 
of his retirement. I would like to join Local 90 in commemorating this 
exceptional individual who has dedicated an entire career to his union 
and his craft. Jerry is a longtime family friend, and I am honored to 
have this opportunity to acknowledge his 43 years of service to the 
IBEW.
  Jerry Esposito is not only an accomplished craftsman, but also a 
dependable coworker and an outstanding leader. His warm personality and 
high level of commitment have made him well respected by his colleagues 
at the IBEW. As the vice president, president, and most recently, the 
business manager, his dedication to the Electrical Workers Local 90 has 
never faltered and has resulted in prosperity and growth for the union.
  Unions are crucial to the well-being of American workers and they 
depend heavily on the vitality and solidarity of their membership. 
Jerry Esposito's friends and fellow electrical workers have long relied 
on him as an essential member of their organization. He has always been 
active and willing to take the lead on important issues. As a member of 
the Connecticut Apprenticeship Council and the IBEW's Council on 
Industrial Relations, Jerry has given back both to his profession and 
to the union that has done so much for him.
  I am sure his wife, Angie, and his children--Diane, Rosemary, and 
Patty--share in the tremendous pride that Jerry feels at this moment. I 
extend my heartfelt congratulations on this well-deserved tribute, and 
I commend Jerry Esposito for 43 years of distinguished work. I wish him 
many years of good health and happiness in his retirement.
