                         Tuesday, June 27, 1995
  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to Jack 
Driscoll, who is recipient of the 1995 Distinguished Public Service 
Award given by the Anti-Defamation League, Southwest Division. The 
award reflects Jack's many outstanding contributions to the city of Los 
Angeles.
  Jack is best known as the executive director of the Los Angeles 
Department of Airports, a position he has held since December 1992. In 
this role Jack oversees the operations of Los Angeles and Ontario 
International Airports, Palmdale Regional Airport, and Van Nuys 
Airport. This position has given Jack tremendous influence in local and 
regional affairs, and made him one of the key players in the economic 
revitalization of southern California. It is also the culmination of a 
successful 28-year career in municipal government.
  Prior to assuming his duties with the Department of Airports, Jack 
was general manager of the city of Los Angeles Personnel Department. He 
arrived in Los Angeles in 1978, after serving in various capacities in 
the mayor's office in Seattle.
  Jack has a bachelor's degree in psychology, a master's in business 
administration from the University of Seattle, and is a graduate of the 
UCLA Graduate School of Management, Executive Program. In addition, he 
is a member of the American Association of Airport Executives and the 
government affairs committee of Airports Council International-North 
America.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Jack 
Driscoll, a public servant who works tirelessly for the betterment of 
his community. He is a shining example to us all.
