                       RETIREMENT OF DONALD ROACH

                                 ______


                            HON. DAN BURTON

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 12, 1995

  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to 
express my congratulations and admiration to Mr. Donald Roach of 
Indianapolis, IN, as he retires from Allison Transmission.
  In his nearly 50 years in the work force, Mr. Roach served his 
community and country in several capacities.
  A weapons expert in the U.S. Army in the early 1950's, Mr. Roach 
brought his military expertise to Allison Transmission in Indianapolis 
in 1981. He began as a specialist on a battle-tank development project 
at Allison and then served as Allison's Audit Coordinator at the U.S. 
Army Tank Plant in Lima, OH, for the balance of the 1980's.
  Donald Roach would conclude his years of service as a regional 
account manager, sharing his lifelong experience and expertise with 
both customers and fellow Allison employees across the country.
  Even in this retirement, Donald Roach will remain active in various 
community service organizations and social clubs, and especially with 
his family. He has a wife, four children, and many grandchildren with 
whom he can enjoy the next phase of his life. I wish Donald Roach the 
best as he reflects on the many memories of the last 50 years.
