         TRIBUTE TO JIM GLASS ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______


                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 4, 1995
  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise today 
and pay tribute to a good friend and outstanding citizen of Ohio. This 
year, James Glass will retire from the Wildlife Conservation Fund of 
America. A political expert and former business executive, Jim founded 
and until 1993 was president and CEO of the fund.
  Jim served in the aerospace field for 28 years as an executive with 
the Columbia Aircraft Division of Rockwell International. During his 
employment with the aerospace giant, Mr. Glass had the responsibility 
for coordinating Columbus Aircraft Division support for many facets of 
major programs with NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense. These 
programs included the B-1 bomber and space shuttle projects.
  For over two decades, Mr. Glass has been involved in wildlife, soil, 
and water conservation. He formerly served as a director of the 
National Wildlife Federation. In recent years he has worked to defend 
the rights of sportsmen and the integrity of wildlife management in the 
face of wildlife protectionist opposition. In 1978, Mr. Glass founded 
the Wildlife Legislative Fund of the American and the Wildlife 
Conservation Fund of America in order that sportsmen's interests be 
represented in the Congress, the courts, and in the state legislatures.
  As a former president of the State Senate of the Ohio, I depended on 
Jim and his organization to keep me informed on the needs of sportsmen. 
During that time, we worked together on many projects.
  Whether looking back on his years in business or his many civic 
activities, Jim Glass should feel the pride that comes with great 
accomplishments. I wish him and his family all the best in the years 
ahead.
