  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, today, I pay tribute to Theodore A. Griffin 
of Jefferson City, MO, who passed away on July 6, 1995.
  Mr. Griffin graduated from the School of Journalism at the University 
of Missouri in Columbia, after serving in the U.S. Navy during World 
War II. He worked in radio during his college years, and in 1950, he 
started at KFEQ in St. Joseph, MO, where he worked his way to becoming 
general manager. He was appointed executive vice president of the 
Missouri Broadcasters Association in 1971 where he served until 1994.
  Mr. Griffin served as chairman of the Red Cross Regional Blood 
Program, the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce, heading the legislative 
liaison group with State government, on the board of the Missouri 
Broadcasters Association, and was a member of the Missouri Society of 
Association Executives.
  Mr. Griffin was associated with many organizations including the Boy 
Scouts, Cub Scouts, and Junior Achievement in the St. Joseph area.
  He will be missed by all who knew him, both as a friend and as an 
outstanding Missourian. He is survived by his wife, Dorothea, 4 
children, and 10 grandchildren.
