                          HON. JAMES P. MORAN

                       Thursday, October 19, 1995

  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
in recognition of the First Annual Part-Time Professionals' Day. This 
day was brought to my attention by the Association of Part-Time 
Professionals, a national nonprofit organization that is a leading 
authority on flexible work options. The First Annual Part-Time 
Professionals' Day recognizes the nearly 4.6 million men and women who 
currently work in part-time professional jobs.
  Part-time workers comprise a diverse segment of the work force which 
includes men and women in search of nontraditional employment schedules 
to accommodate changing high-tech work environments and family 
priorities. These individuals include parents seeking better balance 
between work and family needs, retirees interested in continuing 
employment, students, and others pursuing outside interests such as 
volunteer opportunities in our communities.
  More than 80 percent of the Association of Part-Time Professionals 
members live in the Washington metropolitan area. These members and 
others represent a growing segment of the work force which I am honored 
and delighted to recognize as valuable professionals in the American 
workplace.
