                            HON. JERRY LEWIS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 3, 1995
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to your 
attention the fine work and outstanding public service of Mr. Albert 
Barnes, Jr. Al, a dedicated professional and longtime community 
activist, is retiring as the southeast California district manager for 
the United Parcel Service [UPS]. A tribute will be held in his honor on 
August 24 to recognize his years of service to California's Inland 
Empire.
  Al began his career with UPS as a delivery driver in Dayton, OH in 
1967. Two years later, he became a supervisor and in 1972, was named 
center manager. Al served as a feeder manager, package division 
manager, and hub division manager before joining the Arizona District 
as a division manager in 1975. In addition, he has served on a number 
of special assignments and worked as a member of the UPS Part-Time 
People Support Committee.
  In 1989, Al was named southeast California district manager for UPS, 
which has become one of the most respected corporate citizens in the 
region. Al was in charge of the planning, construction, and opening of 
the largest UPS west coast air hup in Ontario, CA in 1992. To say the 
lest, Al has played an extraordinary and active role in our community. 
In addition to his outstanding business contributions, Al has been a 
longtime supporter of and deeply involved with the Boys and Girls Club 
of the Inland Empire as a member of the board of directors.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, and Al's family 
and many friends in recognizing his many fine achievements and selfless 
contributions. I'd also like to wish Al, his wife Margaret, their 
daughter, Rebecca, and sons John, Mike, and Ed the very best in the 
years ahead. Throughout his career, Albert Barnes has touched the lives 
of many people and it is only fitting that the House of Representatives 
recognize him today.
