                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 8, 1995
  Mr. KIM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. Albert 
Barnes, Jr. who on August 24, 1995, retired from United Parcel Service 
culminating a 28-year career.
  Al began his UPS career as a delivery driver in Dayton, OH in 1967, 
quickly rising to become an on-car supervisor, and in 1972 a center 
manager. Through his commitment to customer service and his dedication 
to excellence Al was promoted to feeder manager, package division 
manager, and also hub division manager. In 1975 Al joined the Arizona 
district as a division manager. In February 1989 Al was named southeast 
California district manager. Al was charged with the planning, and 
construction of United Parcel Service's largest west coast air hub that 
opened in Ontario, CA in 1992. Al has served on a number of special 
assignments and was a member of the UPS part-time people support 
committee.
  In addition to his busy schedule with UPS, Al has always made time to 
get involved with the community, and has been active with many 
organizations in the Inland Empire including the board of directors of 
the Boys and Girls Club.
  Under his direction, the southeast California district has achieved a 
leading role as a well-respected corporate citizen in the community for 
its contributions to the betterment of the people of the Inland Empire.
  I wish Al, and his wife Margaret, a long and enjoyable retirement 
together with their family: John, Mike, Ed, and Rebecca.
