                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 9, 1995
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker today I wish to recognize a truly 
outstanding American, Lt. Gen. Daniel R. Schroeder, for service to his 
country in the Corps of Engineers of the U.S. Army. I would like to 
commend General Schroeder for 34 years of faithful and dedicated 
service to the United States.
  A lifetime career in numerous Army engineer positions, his leadership 
has been shown throughout his career. He retires most recently serving 
as the deputy commander in chief of the U.S. Army Europe and Seventh 
Army.
  General Schroeder is to be applauded for his fine work during the 
1988 activation of the Army Engineer Center at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. 
During this time, he served as the commanding general of the U.S Army 
Engineer Center and Fort Leonard Wood Commandant. This center 
contributes and ensures the future growth and development of the Army 
engineer regiment.
  General Schroeder's many U.S. decorations and badges include the 
Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Distinguished Service Medal (with 
Oak Leaf cluster), Legion of Merit (with Oak Leaf Cluster), 
Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star Medal with V Device (with 4 Oak 
Leaf Clusters), Meritorious Service Award (with Oak Leaf Cluster), Air 
Medals with V Device, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Army 
Commendation Medal (with 4 Oak Leaf Clusters), Combat Infantryman 
Badge, and Master Parachutist Badge.
  I know that the Members of this body join in sending congratulations 
to General Schroeder and best wishes for his retirement. The Army Corps 
of Engineers has been fortunate to have had General Schroeder as one of 
its leaders.
