  BEST WISHES FOR HEALTHY RECOVERY TO BOB BARRACLOUGH, A FIRE SERVICE 
                                 FRIEND

                                 ______


                            HON. CURT WELDON

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 29, 1995

  Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, a very dear friend of the 
American fire service underwent bypass surgery this past week. On 
behalf of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus and the Congressional 
Fire Services Institute, I want to take this opportunity to extend my 
best wishes to Bob Barraclough for a speedy recovery.
  I have known Bob for many years. A native of Pennsylvania like 
myself, Bob got his start in the fire service as a youth spending time 
at the station house with his father who was a firefighter. For the 
past 15 years, Bob, himself, has served as a volunteer firefighter.
  Presently, he divides his time between business, Class 1, public 
speaking, and involvement with a number of fire-related associations. A 
strong supporter of CFSI, Bob is a major contributor to the institute's 
internship program. The program gives future leaders of the fire 
service invaluable Washington experience that will serve them well in 
the years ahead.
  I look forward to seeing Bob on his feet again soon. Until then, we 
in Washington send our best wishes to you, Bob, for a full recovery.
