                      TRIBUTE TO THE HARRISON POST

                                 ______


                            HON. DAN BURTON

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 11, 1995

  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
final issue of the Harrison Post, Fort Benjamin Harrison's weekly 
newspaper that published its last issue on September 28, 1995.
  The Harrison Post was established in April 1966, by Ferdinand Stauch, 
a veteran of ``Merrill's Marauders,'' and has well served the 
information needs of the military community at Fort Harrison for nearly 
30 years.
  Due to the closure of Fort Harrison, most of the soldiers have 
departed, and it was inevitable that the Harrison Post would have to 
stop the presses. Throughout the base closure process, the newspaper 
maintained its commitment to excellence. The Harrison Post has won 27 
awards for excellence in journalism, and is considered to be one of the 
most honored newspapers of its type in the Army.
  Throughout its history, the Harrison Post has provided timely, 
accurate, and reliable information to the servicemen and women, 
retirees, and civilians that have made up the Fort Harrison community. 
I take this opportunity to salute the Harrison Post, and those who have 
served on its staff, for their contributions and service to the Nation.
